This is a small box (approx. 2-3 inches long) containing some notes and some special items which were dear to Lula’s heart. The inscription on the top of the box reads, “Dad’s Picture”. The note written in the box’s lid reads, “Didn’t have a mustache when I was a girl when mother was living. Looked better too”. I read this to mean that she wasn’t a big fan of the mustache.
The small button is described as “Anna, Mag, and Sarah on this button. Uncle Jim’s girls. Margaret Berry on left and her 2 sisters”. The Uncle Jim referred to here is James Franklin “J. F.” “Jim” Pieratt. He is married to a “Zelphia Dennis”, who I assume is the sister of Lula’s mother, Georgeann Dennis. I’m still trying to figure out the exact nature of the relationship.
