Center, who fought in France during World War One. Many secondary sources,were available, such as Robert Murray's The Red Scare, that enriched my own research and analysis.

Summary: The Lydia in question was Lydia Smith, housekeeper and friend of Congressman Thaddeus Stevens of Lancaster,PA. The author of this 12 page document appears to be a person who had become interested in the history of slavery in the United States. He took trips to visit sites related to the fight against slavery and became very interested in Mr Stevens. He presents a number of facts about Stevens, his career, and his funeral in Lancaster. The title of the article comes from the difficulty he had in locating Ms. Smith's grave. With the help of a genealogist, he located the grave. Though the author seems to be a layman and not a professional historian, he does present through his research facts about the Congressman that are not common knowledge.

Subjects: Stevens, Thaddeus,; Smith, Lydia, - 1813-1884.; Slavery - United States.
