Quick as thought, Mrs. Clapp intercepted him. You can only reach that flag over my dead body, said she. Finding her thus determined, the secessionist left, and though frequent threats were muttered against the flag, it was not disturbed. Mrs. Moore (Parson Brownlow's daughter) was another of these fearless defenders of the flag. In June, 1861, the Rebels were greatly annoyed at the sturdy determination of the Parson to keep the Stars and Stripes floating over his house; and delegation after delegation came to his dwelling to demand that they should be lowered.

From that time until her resignation of the office, January 13th, 1864, she received $115,876,93. Thus, in about two years and a half, she received and distributed more than $136,000 worth of goods and sanitary stores con
