The age of the quilt that is the subject of the photographs below is unknown. But the list of names on it suggest that it was at least the early ’40’s because Granddad Bingham died in ’42. But I believe it is several years older. All of the Attaway “sisters” are on it except Aunt Stella and, of Course, Aunt Maude Belle Attaway Hansard. Two of the names are difficult to make out, and I do not recognize one, so I have made a best guess. Please let me know of any corrections.
The names embroidered are in seven rows of 6 patches each, and are as follows from left to right:
Top row: Juanita McCoy, Leeama Ewing, Edna young, Grandad Bingham, Odell Bingham, Millie Neely
Second row: Beatrice Bingham, Nannie Mae B, Sallie Bingham, Hollie Brown, Cleo Duncan, Stella Neely
Third row: Mrs B L Jones, C O Bingham, Lela Gobble, Lavada Duncan, J C McCoy, Bill Bingham
Fourth row: James Bingham, Bell Bingham, Dollie Kiser, Ted Kiser, Mozelle Bingham, Alton Bradshaw
Fifth row: Gordon Neely, Manerva McCoy, Ethel Wren, Tommy Duncan, J T Kiser, Rozelle Andrews
Sixth row: Ray Neely, Tempie Bradshaw, Beatrice Northcutt, Audie Smith, Mary Bingham, Opal Mae Bradshaw
Seventh row: Lola Neely, Esta Bingham, Mother Attaway, Robert Bingham, Lillie Smith, W L Ewing
