Mrs. A.T. MacDonell rocks and operates an “automatic cradle” for twins, one of the relics which WPA workers assisted in classifying and preserving at the historical society in Memorial Hall in 1936. The cradle was brought to German (now American) Township in Allen County in 1852. Mrs. MacDonell, who was treasurer of the historical society in 1936, wears a black cape and lace cap. The dolls in the cradles are also relics of early Allen County.
