Greetings,

Gary Gerwe contacted me about donating a rocking crib to the Village. We do
not need another crib so Gary said it was okay to see if anyone in our group
would be interested. Please contact Gary at the phone number below. I have
attached three photos.

The crib was first used by the children of Friedrich Klopmeier who was born in
1867 in Lengerich, Germany and was brought to the US as a child. He married
Anna-Maria Holtgreve in 1891. They used the crib for their 5 children -
Frederich (born 1892), Alma (1894), Luella (1897), Walter (1902), and Clifford
(1906). The crib was last used by Connie (nee Klopmeier) and Gary Gerwe in the
1970's for their 3 children - Paul, Julie, and Jim.

The rocking crib was made in the late 1800s of a dark wood (maybe walnut) with
hand carved details. The original mattress was a horse hair mattress. The crib
is in excellent condition.


Sincerely,

Gary Gerwe

Dayle:

We have copies of the Womens City Club cookbook in the bookstore at the Stowe
House. The two primary editors (many are listed) were wonderful, one is graphic
artist--I think at the Art Museum and the other is her mother who was a
professional editor if I recall--they love to talk about the project and the
contents. I have to have the book in front of me to give you details, but can
connect you up with the right people at WCC if you would like to talk with them.

As mentioned by our lovely friends at the Taft Museum, the founders of home
economics in the 19th century were essentially Catharine Beecher, older sister
of Harriet, and Harriet Beecher Stowe; we have several of their
housekeeping/recipe manuals at the Stowe House as they have been reprinted; I
think we may have some other old-style cooking/recipe books in our library
collection. I would be happy to go through these with you at the House anytime
soon.

Dayle,

Speaking of Harriet Beecher Stowe, a great resource for your exhibit (and
inclusion for display if you can find an original) would be the book she wrote
with her sister Catherine, The American Woman's Home. Originally published in
1869, it contains a wealth of information on how to properly set up of a
kitchen and much more.

Sounds like a great exhibit - have fun with it!

Hi Dayle,

We recently hosted a panel for the Woman's City Club at the Harriet Beecher
Stowe House, and one of the books they discussed was a centennial cookbook of
Cincinnati recipes. The Woman's City club was founded in 1915, so later than
you are looking, but that book and that group might be good resource for you.
The book is called Stirring the Pot in the Kitchen and the Community for 100
Years.

Hi all-

We are exploring assembling an exhibit for this fall on past cooking methods,
