brother, Samuel Ewings, to make their
home with their uncle, Henry Bailey, who
had moved to the place several years pre-
vious from the farm now occupied and
owned by John and Isadore Whitcomb.
Many of the articles of furniture in the
house were over 100 years old, all being
carefully preserved. One large chest Of
drawers was made in the building by
Priest Owen, a cabinet maker who for
merly lived there and had never before
been taken outside. This and the full set
of od-fashioned spint bottomed chairs and
rocker were bought by the new owners of
Ithe property and will be returned to their
accustomed places. The more valuable
household articles were willed by Miss
Ross TO relatives, among them being a
complete set of blue willow-ware. which
were part of her mothers Setting out
when first married.
