10) print of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau Alps which hung in the Garden City home. (Caroline)

Embroidery wall hanging made by Lina, roughly 3 feet by 5 feet. Did Lina make one of these for each of her children? The wall hanging on the left is of the one currently in the possession of the Sue Stitt family. The wall hanging on the right is a copy which Ruth made and Nancy now has. The photos below show more embroidery that Lina did (Nancy has these).

Photograph of Eugene Traugott Stoeckly taken in his 20's. With frame, roughly 18" x 24". The photograph was mounted in this frame in 1982. The small photograph is the same image, but shows more of the chair. Note the address on the mat is in Brooklyn, NY. Perhaps the photo was taken when Eugene first arrived in America. The double breasted suit with vest was worn with a white bowtie by Eugene for his wedding to Lina.
Both photograph and suit in the possession of Jim Crawford.
Book of poems in German, originally Lina's. Lamp probably from Italy given to Margaret by Tante Adele from one of her travels. The cloth that is under the lamp was made by Lina. China cabinet from the dining room of the house in Garden City. All of these are now in the possession of Barbara Satkowski.
Rifle owned by Eugene Traugott Stoeckly, now in the possession of Ty Ryland.
