Tonight my daughter and I were polishing a beautiful silver coffee pot that was my great great Grandmother, Fannie Stiles O'Connor. Several years ago, when we went to California to celebrate my grandmother's (Wilma Lobdell) 90th birthday, I was blessed to bring this pot home. On the back of the pot it has Fannie's maiden name engraved which would date this back to at least 1867.
Along with the coffee pot, I brought several pictures and one of them is of Byron and Fannie in their Grenola, Kansas home, with their youngest daughter Elizabeth. If you look carefully, you can see this very coffee pot sitting on a lovely table in the room behind them.
