Thanks for the article reference.
The Valentine Richmond History Center holds in the collection a small
mourning brooch which is engraved on the back "Archer Christian/Nov. 14,
1909/Age 18 years/& 5 months". The brooch's hair receptacle is empty.

Hello, Dale.........
I am aware that Colonel John Singleton Mosby was outraged when a student
from the University of Virginia football team died from an injury
received during a football game and said so in a scathing op-ed. I'm
guessing that it was early in the 20th Century, as Mosby had worked for
the Southern Pacific RR until 1901. I do not know exactly when or the
newspaper, but would guess it was the Charlottesville paper. Do you
have any suggestions as to where I may look?
I look for your early reply......
