"Concerns a soldier's wife who lives in abject poverty when he is listed among the missing after a Civil War battle"--Beasecker, Michigan in the Novel 1455. The poor widow's finances are saved by the unexpected gift of a Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine; this may actually be the company's rather subtle promotional pamphlet. One copy in OCLC at the Library of Michigan, no other examples traced at auction or elsewhere.
