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.

Pocket Knife
This knife was given to me by my grandmother, Mary Ann Johnston Cardinal, for Christmas 1920 when I was seven.
One side of the handle is marked Alton Cardinal, Green Bay, Wis. On the other side is a picture of me taken on my seventh birthday, April 10, 1920, at Oneida, Wis. The picture was damaged by me while removing rust with kerosene.
