Mrs. Brisban's gift

When Mrs. Brisban died, Joan (her daughter-in-law), gave mom these three pieces:

Jewelry box

Jack brought this to me from Korea early in our marriage.  Jack was in Korea from winter 1970 to fall 1971.

Granny's desk

When Barbara moved from Granny's house, it seemed that no one wanted this desk.  I thought that someone might one day want it...it is very cute.  I do not know the story about this desk.  Maybe Barbara or Bob or Steve might know the story.

Book case/ dining room piece



This piece was in Mom-mom and Grandaddy Marshall's apartment at Woodlands.  When we had to move mom-mom to Health Care, I moved the piece to my bedroom for safety.  Mom says that this piece was at Granny Mary's house.  It must have been in the dining room as the piece that was in the living room, ended up at Greg and Peggy's and was sold when Hannah and Luke moved to Wilmington.

Dining room furniture from 127 Woodland Drive

This was the table and chairs that we used at 127 Woodland Drive.  Mom said that Papa and Grandmother Sammons (Forest Charles Sammons and Clara Margaret Hornberger Sammons) went to Philadelphia early in the days in which they had a little money and purchased this dining room furniture.

martini set

I have no clue who this set belongs to....but it is up for grabs if anyone can use it.

Grandmother Sammon's crocheted coverlette

The below is in less than perfect shape, but I think it is very cheerful and hand made by Clara Margaret Hornberger Sammons
