Cradle marked 'Jacob Zentmyer, Agent'
Cradle marked 'Jacob Zentmyer, Agent'
I found this hand-made doll's cradle, stamped 'Jacob Zentmyer, Agent, Naperville Ills' on eBay, likely a promotional give-away item during Jacob's time as an agent for Bloomer's Home Products.

"After losing an arm in a corn shredder accident in 1899 Jacob became an agent for Bloomer's Home Products - medicines, spices, and extracts. Driving a horse and special wagon, he had a regular route through the countryside and visited regular customers with Bloomer products." -Naperville Sun, 20 Oct 1982

Mary Wright Lowman's will
Mary Wright Lowman's will
Husband Abraham is named in the will, but none of Abraham's children except for stepdaughter Margaret Brown Lowman are named. And Margaret was willed two hundred dollars, four times the amount given any other beneficiary. Margaret had lived with Abraham and Mary since before 1850, so she must have taken good care of Mary.
