Bedroom Set
The set – bed, dresser, comode –
was new when my parents (Gilbert and Lillie
Cardinal) were married in 1901. The bed no
longer exists. The set is made of cherry
wood. The dresser originally had a mirror in
a frame so that the mirror could be tilted.
My mother removed the frame and hung the
mirror on the wall in the 1920's. The frame
is gone, but the mirror was left in attic at
132 S. Oneida St. until Carl Sippel gave it
to me in 1985. The bevel-edge mirror has a
broken-out section which my mother concealled
with picture post cards.

Rocking Chair
The bent-wood arm rocker belonged to my
grandmother, Lillie Roy Strahl Whipple
(1860-1921), and it was used by her until
her death in 1921. Then it became the
property of my mother, Lillie Strahl
Cardinal (1877-1948), until her death in
1948. It was constantly used all those
years. After Mother's death, the chair
remained in our attic until I completed
refinishing in 1982.
I removed all of the old finish and
refinished with Formby's tung oil finish
rubbed into the natural wood. I replaced
the seat with new leather tooled by my
sister-in-law, Helen Lu Ferslev, in a
pattern similar to the original. New
tacks were used. Other than minor joint
tightening, no restoration was needed.

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.
