An especially fine silk and linen sampler by Sara Ann Blake dated 1817 with flowers, bouquets, deer, and birds. This has been removed from its original frame and conserved and then replaced. Many times we overlook the verse: " Next unto GOD dear parents I address/ Myself to you in humble thankfulness/ For all your care and charge on me bestow'd/ The means of learning unto me allow'd/ Go on dear friends and may I safe obtain/ A lasting treasure which is more than gain".
