Child's red chair
	category household family_branch Cardinal_Gilbert provenance household of Eva Cady Robinson, then household of Gilbert and Lillie Cardinal, then household of Alton and Beatrice Cardinal, then household of Peter Cardinal notebook_reference OldThings.html#child_chairs Child Chairs The four chairs have interesting histories. The green straight chair was bought by her parents for my wife, Beatrice Ferslev, when she was four years old (in 1919). It was used specifically for her to sit on in the one-seated family automobile while her older sister sat between the parents and the younger sister sat on mother's lap. The other three chairs were given to me after my cousin's children outgrew them (about 1915). The training chair was a brown color – stain and varnish –; we never had the tray. The "kitchen" chair was red enamel. I remember the rocker as yellow – probably a stained or natural finish. When Uncle Abe Frei brought the training chair from Spokane, Washington, out to the ranch on Indian Prairie, he was embarassed; so he put it in a burlap bag. I named the chairs for ranch horses – Major (training chair), Queen (kitchen), and Flo (rocker) and drove them with string lines. The chair backs and rear legs still show the wear from being dragged across the floor. I still refer to them by name. Eva Cady Robinson disposition currently owned as of January 2014
