Notes
Sharon inherited the table covering when her mother passed away. Her mother inherited it when Johanna died. Johanna lived in NE when she made it but later lived in Peoria IL in Sharon's childhood home (around age 12). Sharon's father was a Lutheran grade school teacher and principal. They had it covering the dining room table when table was not in use. Later Sharon and her husband Daryll moved to NE when he got a job at Peru State Collage.
