    Text This chest was made in the early 1800's by my great great grandfather Smith - Grama Busler's grand father, as a wedding gift to his bride. He died & she married a man named Plant. Grama Busler's mother married Grampa Davis. Grama's name was Harriet Belle Davis. She had a twin brother - Delbert. Aunt Georgia Davis Biggs, Grama's sister, gave this to my mother, Fannie Busler Aldrich, and it was handed on to me, Bessie Aldrich Benson. I wrote this May 16, 1974.
