Beulah Vee's Cedar Chest: A List

 In July 2016 I wrote a series of five blog posts about a cedar chest full of personal items belonging to my paternal aunt Beulah Vee Wright. She died in 1939 at the age of eighteen, so the items date from the 1920's and 1930's. She and my dad and their parents lived in Gadsden, Alabama. In 2021 I wrote a follow-up post describing our donation of much of the material in the cedar chest to the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The actual cedar chest and a small group of items remain in the family.

Below I've gathered links to all the blog posts and two images from each one. Part One gives a lengthy introduction.

The archives did not keep the dolls or the cradle [made by Beulah Vee's father, Amos Jasper Wright, Sr.]. They already have an extensive collection of dolls.
