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.

Sewing Chair
This low wooden rocker belonged to my mother, Lillie Strahl Cardinal (1877- 1948). I don't know when or how it was acquired, but I remember it as an old chair when I was a child.
Originally, the chair was finished with a dark brown stain and had a brown cane seat (fragments of the cane are still there). In the late 1920's, Mother installed a
dime store
plywood replacement seat. At some time, one of the six back splints was broken; I removed the opposite one to maintain symmetry when I painted the chair gray in the 1950's. - disposition
