Desk Lamp
Flexible (goose neck) study lamp was
purchased for my use when I enrolled at
the University of Wisconsin, Madison, in
September 1931. The dark green color was
chosen to harmonize with the green
stained dormitory furniture. For two
school years I lived in Room 202, Tarrant
House, Adams Hall on the university
campus.
The lamp was used by me during four
student years and subsequently in all
the various roominghouses until I entered
the army in March of 1941. After the war
it continued as part of our household,
but was not used so much. During the past
few years it has served as an auxillary
shop light in the basement.
The electrical cord was replaced once.

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.
