Sorting through the Caldwell Delaney Collection, in the Battle House file, I happened to stumble upon a newspaper clip from 1916, and on the back was this gem. The poor chicken named "Heliose was a scion of the Black Orpington family and boasted distinguished ancestry. The blood of some of our oldest eggs ran in her veins." Clearly, her death was noteworthy enough for publication in the local news.
Enjoy!
