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.

Child's Dishes
This set of china is a small tea set for children to play with. There are also two pewter castors.
These items belonged to my mother, Lillie Strahl Cardinal, and date back to her childhood in the 1880's. I do not know exactly how or when she got them, but they were among her prized possessions.
