A Piece of History

Elaina Elizabeth received a special treat at Gramma and Grampa Rust's when she got to lie in the same crib that once held a number of other Elizabeths when they were babies. The cradle pictured below rocked Elaina's Great-Great-Grandmother Elizabeth Pauline Pfeifer when she was born 121 years ago, it rocked Elaina's Great-Grandmother Mary Elizabeth Lockhart when she was born in 1914, and it even held her Aunt Andrea Elizabeth Rust in 1982. Yes, a generation was skipped in there and Elaina's Gramma Rita Faye is still a little bitter about that. [Elaina's Daddy got to experience the cradle in 1981 even though he has no 'Elizabeth' in his name.]
