Sewing rocker
(no photo)	category household family_branch Cardinal_Gilbert provenance unknown origin, household of Lillie Strahl Cardinal, then household of Alton and Beatrice Cardinal notebook_reference OldThings.html#sewing_rocker 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. disposition unknown
