teacher.
The desk has a flat top on tapered legs.
There is one wide drawer. Lumber species
is butternut, stained walnut color.

and 18 inches deep.

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.
