James Smith in The War That Came EarlyEdit

When Peggy Druce spoke at the First Presbyterian Church in York in 1941, her host, Loretta Conway, mentioned that James Smith was buried in the churchyard. Peggy failed to hide the fact that she was unimpressed, and Mrs Conway realized that, as a Philadelphian, sites of historical significance from the era of the American Revolution would not have impressed her. Mrs Conway therefore did not offer to show Peggy Smith's grave, though Peggy would have allowed her to for politeness's sake if she had wanted.^[1]
