Description

Digital image of portions of pages 32 and 33 of "Stay at Home and Use Me Well: Flax & Fleece: Fiber to Fabric," published by Kitty Bell Walter and Ron Walter in cooperation with The National Museum of the American Coverlet , Bedford, PA, 2010. The book is a 129-page exhibition catalog for the collection of Kitty Bell Walter and Ron Walter displayed at the Coverlet Museum. The pages contain text and two photographs describing spinning wheels built by Johannes Keim (in 1791) and Jacob Keim (in 1776), and provide dates during which the three generations of Keims were engaged in the craft of wood turning, probably as to Jacob and Johannes II in the Keim “ancillary” structure documented in these archive records, and treated in depth in Philip Pendleton’s book “Oley Valley Heritage” and in his successful application for the designation of the 1757 Keim House and the Ancillary jointly as a National Historic Landmark [See summary in KHTX13].
