Provenance |
The scarf was worn by the donor's mother, Mildred Mary (Munch) Clark, who was born in January 1914. The scarf was crocheted by Mildred's mother, Harriet Augusta (Atkinson) Munch (1884-1968), circa 1915-1916. Her father, Harry Munch (died in 1929), and her mother were married in 1908. Mildred grew up on Lot 30, front of Concession 9, the Badenoch area of Puslinch. In 1929, when Mildred was fourteen years old, her father, Harry Munch, died. After his death, she and her mother, Harriet Munch, continued to work on the farm. In 1947, Mildred was married to Benjamin Jacob Clark (1906-1992). Together they had two children: the donor (born in 1947) and John Clark (born in 1952). In 1952, when the donor was 4 years old, the Clarks moved into Morriston, Puslinch Township and remained there. Mildred passed away in 2002. |
