Mary Maser's pearl necklace
On Dec. 25, 1917 Grandmother
Maser gave her little grandaughter
$23 to start a pearl necklace.
Her Grandmother Johntz sent her
$5 so she had a sting
of fifteen pearls. At Easter
time 1918 Frederick Johntz
sent $5 from Cuba for an added
pearl. Next came Mary's secong
birthday in August 1918. Grand-
mother Maser gave her $10 for two
pearls and her own mama gave
her $f for another one. So she
now had 19 pearls. For Mary's birthday
Aug. 22, 1919 I gave her $27.50 and
Grandma Maser gave her $10 and
we had 18 pearls added to the
necklace -- making 37 in all.
On May 21 grandmother Maser
gave Mary (2) pearls for $15 --
making 39 for her chain. These
were for her approaching birthday
next August.
