Item: Queen's Feather Heirloom Flowers
|
This beautiful display of Queen's Feather, shown at the 2006 reunion, is an heirloom flower that has been cultivated by five generations of women in one branch of our family. It is first thought to have been planted by Joanna (Minerd) Enos of Normalville, PA. Keeping the annual plants cultivated year after year were Joanna's daughter Jennie (Enos) Snyder, granddaughter Mabel (Snyder) Richter, great-granddaughter Mae (Richter) Grimm, and Mae's daughter and son, Peg (Grimm) Mansberry and Kerry Grimm. Writes Peg, "I enjoy looking at my blooms and thinking abut the grandmothers who tended theirs'." The flowers were among the only family heirlooms to survive a devastating house fire in 2005.
