What did Mary see? Mary B. Wade was an actual person who faithfully comforted injured Civil War soldiers. Her "kind, winning and motherly ways made her always a great favorite with the soldiers" who always called her Mother Wade. She was still going strong at the age of eighty.
I learned about Mary while reading a 145 year old book we have in our Civil War book collection.
She came to mind when I was thinking of how we all have tales to tell ... our life stories.
