<DIV><FONT face=Arial>For as long as I can remember this doll resided in the
bottom drawer of my mother's dresser. In 1997 that is where I found her,
but today she is proudly on display at the FRAZIER FARMSTEAD MUSEUM in
Milton-Freewater, Oregon. The dress is new, but made of vintage
material.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Martha Jane Ford Rulaford was born in the Walla Walla
Valley in 1859. I don't know when her father, Nineveh Ford, gave her this
doll; or when she gave it to my mother, but today she is available to all in
perpetuity (that's a big word that means "for ever").</FONT></DIV>
