Laura Mitchel, at age 13, in 1830, worked this striking Family Register needlework sampler at Miss Cornwall’s school in Glastonbury, Conn., She recorded the births and marriage of her parents and the births and deaths of her siblings. There was no doubt that she was boarding in Glastonbury while attending school, because her family lived 50 miles away in South Britain, Conn. It is a silk on linen, 20¾ by 26 inches framed. Attached to the back is a page from the New Haven City Gazette dated April 22, 1830. Stephen & Carol Huber Old Saybrook, CT 860-388-6809 Hubers@AntiqueSamplers.com www.antiquesamplers.com/
