The New York Times; Oct. 6, 1936:
SYRACUSE, Oct. 5. - Mrs. Francelia Dockstader, instructor of a Salvation Army knitting class here, said today that two men were among her most proficient pupils. They are Aagie Henson, janitor at the building, who said he "doesn't see any reason why men should not knit," and Elmer Hartin of Liverpool, who previously learned to do "fancy work" and takes it with him almost everywhere he goes.
