Valparaiso, Ind, has a cradle yet in
actual use in the home of Rev. John
L. Brandt which IS 100 years old. In
this interesting nursery fixture more
than forty babies have been rocked TO
sleep.
In it was rocked in his infancy
Mordecai Hardesty, the first white
child born in indianapolis. The era
die came from Virginia, and was
handed down 10 the Brandt family by
the grandmother of Mrs John L.
Brandt, wife OF the pastor of the
Christian Tabernacle, of Valparaiso.
Mrs. George Marquis is Mrs.
Brandt's grandmother. She had four
teen children who were rocked to
sleep in this cradle. Mrs. Brandt's
father was one Of the fourteen. he is
now eighty-six years OF age.
