Doll
This doll was given to my mother, Lillie
Strahl Cardinal (1877-1948), by her father,
Hermann Strahl (1830-1880), for Christmas
1879 when she was two year[s] old. Because
her father died one week later on New
Year's Day 1880, she treasured the doll
all her life. Shortly before she died,
Mother asked us to give the doll to our
daughter, Phyllis, when she became age
two.
The doll's head, hands, and feet are china.
The body is stuffed with sawdust. She is a
blue eyed, black haired lady fifteen inches
tall.
Doll Trunk
The doll trunk was my mother's. I'm not
sure of its age, but I think it may be as
old as the doll (1879). At any rate, it
dates back to Mother's childhood, in the
City of Fort Howard.
The trunk is [a] small version of a
traveller's trunk with lock, leather
handles, rollers, metal fittings, and
simulated leather (paper) exterior
covering. The inside is complete with
tray and paper lining. Dimensions are:
14 inches long, 9 inches high, and 8
inches deep.
Doll Furniture
The doll furniture belonged to my mother
when she was a child. She was born June
12, 1877, and live on North Ashland Avenue
in the City of Fort Howard until she was
thirteen.

OldThings.html#cleaver
Butcher's Clever with sword handle
Used in Napolean's army.
The sword handle was probably a replacement,
used instead of a regular handle because
no other was available.
It was later found in a Wisconsin
blacksmith's trash pail.
The rescuer brought it home and his
wife used it to cut kindling. (Early 1800's.)
It travelled with them to Washington [state]
and back, when it got its real workout
chopping wood (1930's).
