All, Maybe that is why furniture was made so well, because if you had to move it, it needed to withstand the riggers of the move.

I'm almost positive that when my Montroys came from Saginaw, Michigan to Buffalo they brought their furniture as I have a photo of them living in a large (very large) tent and the furniture is in the background. My Montroys were in the furniture business in Saginaw. I asked (NYERIE) how they would do this during the 1890's. I was told they brought the furniture in wagons or boats when crossing water. I'd be happy to hear more in put about people traveling during that time period. Ruth At 09:53 AM 2/7/2008 -0500, you wrote: >Ruth - > >I have wondered the same thing.
