Context

Story: The ceramic basket was bequeathed to the Ripon Historical Society by the estate of Margaret Klapperich, 1937 - 2025. A handwritten note from Margaret tells the story of the ceramic basket: "This was given to me in 1966 by Mrs. Walter Wittiver. She said it was "old" when she received it. She lived at 410 E. Sullivan, Ripon. That was considered the "outskirts of Ripon" when they bought their house. Margaret K." This story is submitted by the Ripon Historical Society on Margaret Klapperich's behalf in honor of Margaret's love of the Ripon community and her enduring interest in Ripon's rich history.
