Bedroom Set
The set – bed, dresser, comode –
was new when my parents (Gilbert and Lillie
Cardinal) were married in 1901. The bed no
longer exists. The set is made of cherry
wood. The dresser originally had a mirror in
a frame so that the mirror could be tilted.
My mother removed the frame and hung the
mirror on the wall in the 1920's. The frame
is gone, but the mirror was left in attic at
132 S. Oneida St. until Carl Sippel gave it
to me in 1985. The bevel-edge mirror has a
broken-out section which my mother concealled
with picture post cards.

Game Board
This game board measures about 29″
square with mesh pockets at the four corners.
It was patented by The Carrom Company,
Ludington, Michigan. This is Style E,
No. 1 Archarena. It is designed to play
Carroms (registered) and checkers
on one side and croquinol on the reverse
side, as well as many other games. It came
with an instruction book (now lost) covering
57 games (I think). Playing pieces are
wooden rings in red, green, and clear,
black. There are also two wooden cues
26″ long.
The game set was bought in 1918 or 1919
by my father, Gilbert Cardinal, while we
lived at Oneida. He particularly enjoyed
playing Carroms with my mother and
me.
A few of the rings have broken.

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.
