In a recent post<\/a>, I stated that I was going to create a disaster plan to figure out what is important for me to save if a disaster were to occur.\u00a0 I challenged others to do the same and will post their responses in a post next week.\u00a0 In the meantime, here are the family treasures I would risk saving in the event of a disaster.<\/p>\n

Family Bible<\/strong><\/h6>\n

This Bible was given to Sarah Norton WEBSTER (my 3rd great-grandmother) by her father Calvin Price WEBSTER in 1850.\u00a0 It’s very old, and very frail, but a precious memento of my family.\u00a0 Sarah recorded the births, deaths, and marriages of her family in this Bible.\u00a0 She also stored some newspaper clippings, such as obituaries.<\/p>\n

\"WEBSTER,\u00a0 \"WEBSTER,\u00a0 \"WEBSTER,<\/p>\n

Grandpa Miller’s Xylophone<\/strong><\/h6>\n

My grandma and grandpa, Harold Leslie MILLER & Marie Ethel ROTTMAN bought this cute little xylophone for us grandkids to play with when we visited.\u00a0 It’s at least 30-years-old.\u00a0 It’s a keeper!<\/p>\n

\"MILLER,<\/p>\n

Clue Board Game<\/strong><\/h6>\n

This one may seem odd, but it’s one of those things that can’t easily be replaced.\u00a0 The copyright on the game board is 1949 so this collectible is over 50-years-old. Evidentially, my grandaunt Marge owned it; my mom bought at her garage sale when she preparing to move from Chicago to New York.\u00a0 It is not in pristine condition, so we still play it even today.<\/p>\n

\"CAHILL,<\/p>\n

My Baby Pillow<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Yes, another oddball.\u00a0 I have had this little pillow since I was a baby.\u00a0 It’s torn and tattered, but I still sleep with it (yes, I know, I’m over 30 and should’ve ditched the “security” pillow many moons ago!).<\/p>\n

\"CAHILL,\u00a0\u00a0 \"CAHILL,<\/p>\n

Jim’s Grandfather’s Clock<\/strong><\/h6>\n

I don’t know the history behind this clock, or if there even is a story.\u00a0 All I know if that my husband’s grandfather loves clocks.\u00a0 He owned this particular one and gave it to Jim and me as a housewarming gift in 2002.<\/p>\n

\"FERNETTI,<\/p>\n

Grandpa Miller’s Miniatures<\/strong><\/h6>\n

My grandpa Miller made and sold brass dollhouse miniatures.\u00a0 These are definitely keepsakes!<\/p>\n

\"MILLER,<\/p>\n

So there you have it.\u00a0 These are the things I’d have<\/em> to take with me.\u00a0 There are many other things that if time permitted, I’d also grab.\u00a0 And of course all of the important documents, photos, my laptop, and external hard drive.\u00a0 And let’s not forget the most important things, myself, my husband, the cat, and the puppy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
