Notes for Patience Tanner: ===== Letter from Gert Schnell to Laura Greene, July 10, 1997 "Last week in cleaning some things out of my barn at Indian Creek, I came across a quilt that had come from my Grandmother Ada Woodruff Mallory (great granddaughter of Arnold Holden). It is a signature quilt, and looks like it was done by a young girl. Each name is embroidered on a cross in the center of the 18" block. I thought you would be interested in the names. I'll include them just as they are spelled on the quilt: Arther K. Tannar Joseph Tannar Prudy Arnold Caroline Clage Philena Tannar Adaline Holden Amy Tanner Tybel (sp?) Farnsworth Philena Tannar Sarah and John Johana Bowrk Mary Holden Mariette Tannar Russel Tanner Lenord Tanner Luther Tannar Roby Holden Lydia Tanner ===== From: ELLICOTTVILLE POST Newspaper: Wednesday, May 28, 1890 Small obit: Mrs. Arnold Holden died Sunday morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Woodruff; her sickness has been protracted but she was thought to be better until of late. |
