UNIQUE ITEM:  Flat top trunk once owned by Ellen Church, nationally known as “the world’s first stewardess”.   In 1930, during the “Golden Age of Aviation”, Church convinced airline officials that having nurses aboard flights would make air travel appear safer.  Later in life, Miss Church became administrator of Union Hospital in Terre Haute, IN and moved to a farm in Elbridge.  Ed bought her property after her death and kept this trunk because of its historical interest.
