Provenance |
The coffeepot is over 100 years old. It first belonged to Rudolph Gregerson's grandmother, Nickolena Madsen who lived on a farm near Østerild, Denmark. Later it belonged to his mother and father, Jens and Katrina Gregersen in Denmark. It was then passed on the home of Rudolph and Helen Gregersen. Ruldolph's cousin, Mrs. Robert (Freda) Lovejoy offered to bring the coffeepot to Elk Horn to be placed in the museum. |
