Memorabilia
"Mrs. John Pennington was my Sunday school teacher (1928).  The little folding chairs were the same type we sat in, in a circle down in front.  My class was next to the railing where the Minister used to preach from.  Mrs. Pennington taught from these Beginners Stories.  My mother, Violet Budd, was born May 28, 1904, and raised on Devine Ave., the next house from Ralph Kaiser.  She used this little purse around the early 1900’s when she was a little girl.   Around 1910, each Sunday she had five pennies in the little purse to give at Sunday school."  Virginia Budd Vail Hofstad
