At my Grandma Anderson's home there is a glass case with many beautiful things to look at, but a few of them are of particular value because of their history. Here are a few items to look for when you visit.
These shoes belonged to Jannette Allred Andersen. (Grandma's great-grandmother)
This picture, titled "Five Senses", belonged to Ivadene Anderson Larsen. It hung over her sewing machine in a little room next to her kitchen. Grandma Anderson loved this picture when she was growing up and asked her grandma if when she died, she could have it to remember her, and Grandma Larsen agreed. When she died, there were many family members who hoped that they could get this picture, but it was given to Grandma because of that incident.
These glasses belonged to Inger Marie Mortenson Anderson. The note says, "Great Grandma Anderson's glasses. Died 10/28/30- day Hartley was born". She was very ill, but she was holding out to see the new baby, and then she died peacefully. Family Search shows her dying on the 29th. The knife is is on display only because it is pretty and looks old.
Grandma says, "This were found under the grainery in Grandpa Anderson's house, and it belonged to one of his grandparents that come from Denmark." Under the shoe is a note that says, "Dad Anderson's Mother's."
This picture was a wedding present for Faunice Larsen and Merril Jay Laub.
Butterfly made by Uncle Neal, who made one for each of the sisters.
"This little trolly car was given to Hartley and I when we were serving our mission in Hayward California."
