We recently received an 1889 domed metal and wood trunk that was originally owned by Oscar Alexander Wood, a pioneer of 1852. He came to Utah when he was thirteen years old in the David Wood Company. The trunk has two sections inside, and is paper lined including a label showing a picture of a little girl. The trunk can be dated from the patent dates stamped into the metal hinges. Wood passed the trunk down to his daughter, Linnie Maggie Jane Wood Smith. She gave the trunk to Sarah Jane Griffiths Smith, who was the grandmother of the donor, Kevin Hatch. This trunk is now on display in the central area of the first floor of the Carriage House.
