<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris B, post: 25955531, member: 87179&quot;]As luck wood have it, I am cleaning off my desk today and came across this item. In the early 1900&#039;s my great grandmother Annie worked as a mid-wife. The family story is that this gold dollar was the first time she was ever paid for the work. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 1st photo is Annie and John, my great-grandparents. John is standing so that his missing left arm (farming accident) isn&#039;t visible. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1651753[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>My mother doesn&#039;t have fond memories of her grandmother. Apparently she wasn&#039;t happy about looking after a rugrat while the parents were away working. By this point the farm had been sold and my grandparents were both working at the local shoe factory. Anyway, I am the steward for the necklace now. Someday it will be passed down to my grand-daughter. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1651755[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1651754[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
