Round Table

The round table was made by my grandfather, Joseph Cardinal (1830-1913), and came to my father after Grandpa's death.

As I remember it, the table was a dark color. It was later painted black, and then, still later, gray.

My son, Peter, now has the table.

Field Tools

These tools belonged to my father, Gilbert Cardinal, prior to 1920. Most of them were probably in 1917 when we moved onto a farm at Oneida, Wisconsin.

  • Double-bitted axe (handle replaced about 1965)
  • Scythe
  • Wooden hand hay rake (I turned replacement teeth in 1985)
  • Garden spade
  • Two three-tined pitch forks
  • Corn knife
  • Post hole digger
  • Buck saw
  • Lantern
  • Short-handled square shovel (this was discarded by C&NW Ry in 1920's)
