Again this is a gift from my Grand Aunt Alice, and she said it was one of her wedding presents received in 1904. She married George Bryne of County Wicklow. They met in Dublin, Ireland where they were in service to the Strickland family. (Fred and I got to visit with the people now living in this nice home on our first trip to Ireland). George became seriously ill during the great flu epedemic in 1911. Alice wanting to save her son, nine years of age from the flu, sent him to relatives of his fathers in County Wicklow. He fell from a wagon and was killed Very shortly after that Georger died from the flu. Alice never remarried.
