Pair of linen pillowcases woven by Mr. Lorenzo Davis's mother and presented to him when he was married in 1844. A note that accompanied the gift reads, "April 18, 1934. These pieces of linen were made from flax raised on the farm in Vt. as far back as the year 1800 and spun + woven by Cynthia Hand Davis' (my mother) relatives. I can remember seeing them in use when I was a little girl at home but now they are badly worn and no good only for keepsakes in memory of those who have gone on before.
