rtappahannock News photo Cindy Mahan A CUT PAPER VALENTINE, dated 1882, sent by Roberta Hixson to John S. Harrell. Mr. Harrell's grandson, Charles H. Dwyer of Woodbridge, found the valentine while cleaning out an old trunk. Mr. Dwyer is a former resident of Rappahannock County, a graduate of Sperryville High School, Class of 1938. His family lived in what is now the Shenandoah National Park in the Old Hollow area. The valentine, cut by hand from a paper folded into quarters, begins with the hearts in the middle, reading above and below the centerline, then around the outside. The text reads:
“Trust to me, forever yours. Love thee now, and love thee ever, Till your sun shall set forever. Forget you? Does the sun forget to shine? Or do the stars forget the place fixed for them in the skies? Or does the moon forget to rise? When those all forget ... it may be that you will be forgotten.”
