REB: HIST:'Lent A. Williamson' Rebloom?

Greetings.
 
Do we have any reports of 'Lent A. Williamson' ( B.Williamson, 1918)  
reblooming? I've been watching a small clump of something historic in the  
neighborhood for several years after it rebloomed in December one year. I  have seen it 
in bloom in spring several times and my impression has always been  that this 
was the aforementioned cultivar, which is not an obscure one.  Anyway, it is 
not reblooming now, nothing is, including that very  stately candelabra 
branched yellow unknown I mentioned the other day, which  collapsed with the 20 
degree night, but it bloomed in early December at least  once. I don't know what it 
is. I went to Lowe's page and the most likely  candidate is 'Autumn King,' 
but that really does not look right, especially  around the falls. Nor is Lent 
mentioned in Clarences article on remontant  historics. The situs of this 
rebloom has been against the southfacing wall  of a brick apartment house built 
circa 1925, urban environment. There has  been just the one clump of rhizomes. 
Less sun than the heavy blooming  historic one I found some years ago down at 
the local university, one  we believe to be a Vilmorin. 
 
So, do we know anything about Lent? In better times I'd ask my  dear friend 
Rosalie, but that, alas, is not as easy as it once was. I will copy  Lowe on 
this note as he may also have some information, or cogent speculation. 
 
I apologize if this is the sort of thing that everyone knows but me.  Nothing 
much reblooms in my garden--sun patterns--so that I am sort of on the  
sidelines observing these issues.
 
Cordially,
