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.
