Thread Box
This is the sort of box commonly used in
stores which sold spools of thread during
the nineteenth century.
This particular box was left by former
owners in a ranch house (the Taft house)
we moved into when I was about two years
old (1915). It was used by me to keep
small toys. The ranch was located at
Indian Prairie, near Spokane, Washington.
A penciled note on the back of the lower
drawer reads: Save this box for Mrs.
Taft if empty any time in 11/17/1891.
I removed the old finish, made a new front
for the lower drawer of red oak, turned
and painted wooden knobs for the lower
drawer to match the original black Bakelite
knobs on the upper drawer, and applied
clear finish.
The box has been used by my wife, Bea,
as a jewelry box.

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.
