Dick Coffin sent us this note on Orange history:

My late Grandmother, Bertha Lurvey Stewart was born in Orange, NH, in 1884, I learned today. She was one of four girls. Her father (my great-grandfather), James Marion Lurvey (1848-1951), was among the last surviving Union soldiers from the Battle of Gettysburg. When I was a youngster, he and my great-grandmother lived in Goffs Falls, NH.

Thanksgiving dinners at my Grandparents' were always mighty special, I recall.

Wishing everyone in Orange a very Happy Thanksgiving!
