Antique Quilt 5303 - "Grandmother's Flower Garden"
Grandmother's Flower Garden by Ida Pierson-Elam (1890-1976). Ida lived on a farm in northwest Missouri and was divorced in 1922.

Ida was an independent, self-made woman, working as a quilter; driving the school wagon pulled by horses; as a telephone operator; executive housekeeper and cafeteria worker at a nursing home for 20 years.
  This is a photo of Ida in 1912 with her son, Gifford Pierson Elam. Tragically, Gifford died at age 27 on his wife's 21st birthday, when their son, Bill, was only 3 years old. These quilts were bought from Bill Elam, who took care of Ida in his home the last few years of her life. He said the quilts had to have been made in 1935 or before since Ida's eyesight didn't allow her to continue quilting after that. A copy of Ida's photo will be included with purchase.

Antique Quilts - 5628a
Gold and green String Crazy Quilt from mid 1920s. Featured in Centennial Stitches book from Wythe Munford's estate in Nichols Hills, OK. Quilt belonged to his mother, Rose Swirczyski Munford who was born in 1904 in Indian Territory across from the Katy Depot in downtown Oklahoma City, moved uptown to Fourth Street and then to 1401 NE 12 near the Ritz Theater. In the late 1800's the Swirczyski and Munfords came from Poland to Ellis Island and then by wagons to settle in Munster, Tx. Julius and Rosalie married and had 10 children and the two families traveled across the Red River in a wagon caravan to settle in Oklahoma City before statehood. Rose married George Munford and her sister Mary married Albert McRill, born in 1880 in Franklin County, KS. The McRills came to OK Territory in 1902. After establishing the Dispatch People's Voice at Watonga, Albert helped compile the OK Statutes of 1910 and practiced Law in OKC as GA Nichol's attorney. Albert served as OKC Manager and special justice of OK Supreme Court and taught law at OCU and conducted a men's Bible class of 1000 in the downtown Empress Theater. McRill raised eyebrows when he wrote And Satan Came Also, the inside story that exposed OKC bon ton, tenderloin district, The Turf Exchange, The Southern Club, Big Anne's House of Ill Repute, Old Zulu, Noah's Ark and the Red Onion. He joined Overholser and Hefner in cleaning up the early statehood criminal element and corrupt political machine.  Rose's brothers operated the Midwest Bakery on Fourth Street and Wythe worked with the Lyric Board to remodel the Plaza Theater on 16th to produce the Centennial showing of "Oklahoma".  Straight line quilting @ 7-9 st/in. Free $40 Centennial Stitches book included with quilt. Excellent, washed first by me. Some Discoloration 66" x 79"     $299

Snowball quilt by Ida Pierson Elam
(1890-1976). Ida lived on a farm in Northwest Missouri and was divorced in 1912, leaving her alone to work her farm and support her 2 year old son. Ida was an independent, self-made woman, working as a quilter, driving the school wagon pulled by horses, as telephone operator and executive housekeep and cafeteria worker at a nursing home for 20 years.  Photo of Ida with her son, Gifford Pierson Elam in 1912 included with quilt and free Heavenly Patchwork book in which her story appears. Tragically, Gifford died at age 27 on his wife's 2lst birthday when their son Bill was only 3 years old. This quilt was bought from Bill Elam who took care of Ida in his home the last years of her life. He said the quilts had to have been made in 1935 or before since Ida's eyesight didn't allow her to continue quilting after that. Love those scallops.

Arthur E. Pemberton was born to Art L and Fannie Pemberton in 1929 in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He passed away in 2006 after a lengthy illness. Art moved to Oklahoma City in 1942. Graduated from Classen High School, 1947. Graduated from OU in 1951 with a degree in Accounting. Married the love of his life, Carol M. Cobb in 1955. Art belonged to the Young Men's Dinner Club, the Men's Dinner Club, Oklahoma Grocers Association, Confrerie de la Chaine des Rotisseurs. He was a longtime Elder, Endowment Fund Chairman, Church Personnel Committee member for First Presbyterian Church, active in Mobile Meals distribution. Art was a supporter of the Oklahoma City Zoo and a patron of the Arts in Oklahoma City, alumni of Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity at OU. Art loved food, fishing, hunting, entertaining, reading, world traveling, square and ballroom dancing. He had a wide variety of friends and will be missed for his charm, humor and friendliness. Art worked with his father at The Crescent Market, a Nichols Hills icon, and eventually owned and operated the Crescent Market, retired 11 years ago and passed the store to his son, Robert, fourth generation operator.

Wood paneling, flickering coach lamps, a cozy fireplace, beautiful crests, heraldic wall friezes, stained glass hanging lamps, antique furnishings, a three-tiered metal chandelier, and burgundy red carpeting that seems symbolic of rolling our the red carpet for guests.  A beautiful home in Nichols Hills—look again. This is the legendary Crescent Market, an upscale food emporium, voted best gourmet foods in Oklahoma, that is celebrating its 122nd anniversary April 22nd, 2011. The Crescent began life as the J. L. Wyatt Grocery. At age 21, Wyatt, a Paducah, KY native, joined a wagon caravan that started in Paducah and wound up in Wellington KS. In 1889, when Wyatt heard about the Oklahoma Land Run, he went to Arkansas City, Kansas and boarded a train for Guthrie on April 22nd. Although Wyatt staked a claim in Guthrie, he didn’t even bother to file it, figuring his future would be brighter in Oklahoma City. He set up his market the same day of the Land Run. Crescent closed its doors in October because it lost its lease when Chesapeake Oil bought their property—but it will reopen soon even better than before to carry on the legend and remain the icon of the rich and famous.  See www.theCrescentMarket.com
