Grandma Grace rocked her great grandbabies in this chair at Aunt Minerva's yearly picnic....
/I wonder what the history of this chair is? how long it's been in the family? I know my great grandma Gilly didn't live long enough to have great grandchildren to rock...did any other ancestors rock babies in this chair?
