Many thanks from the Hamden Historical Society to Joan Lyke, 4th great-granddaaughter of Jonathan Dickerman II (1746-1821). Mrs. Lyke recently donated a stereoscope and stereo picture cards from the Dickerman family. HHS board member Betsy Gorman accepted these wonderful items at the History Room on November 30th.
We understand that more items may be on the way. We'll keep everyone posted.

Joan wrote, "Also, I have included a photo of the [patented 1893] Singer sewing machine that belonged to me from my great-great-grandfather, Wales Caleb Dickerman. It is in great shape and still works. I would like to donate to the the Historical Society. It is a beauty. I have some of the original manual and tool kit." Also, "this quilt, which came from Frederick Wales Dickerman and was most likely sewn on the Singer sewing machine."
