Bedroom set dresser
	category household family_branch Cardinal_Gilbert provenance household of Gilbert and Lillie Cardinal from 1901, then household of Alton Cardinal, then household of Peter Cardinal notebook_reference OldThings.html#bedroom 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. disposition currently owned as of January 2014
Comode

I don't know its previous history, but she gave up house keeping in 1913, so it must have been old then. It was a dark stained finish, painted white in the 1920's for use in our bath room. One of the towel rack bars was broken as early as I remember and has been removed. disposition unknown, probably sold 2005 $85
