1. 1986.23.1 - White Rotary Sewing Machine. Elva Elizabeth Garn Cook was born in Centerville, UT February 4, 1881 to Philip and Sarah Garn. She was an excellent seamstress. Before she got married, she made dresses for fancy ladies in the Salt Lake area. She was also artistic and painted china, as ladies did in those days as a hobby. She also made quilts and did other handwork. Married George Cook in Salt Lake City, April 29, 1909. They move to "Sand Creek" are of Bingham County, Idaho. A year later Bonneville County was created from Bingham County. The place they lived in now the "Milo" area between Idaho Falls and Ririe. They built a house that had a common wall with a granary so there were lots of mice in the house. Living in the country, they did not have running water or electricity. They worked hard and raised a good family. Elva raised a large garden and did a lot of canning. They did not have an automobile so going to Idaho Falls for supplies was a big event. Children: Kenneth Garn Cook 1910-1989 (married Verla Clark Cook, daughter Linda Cook). Wilma Cook Ririe 1913-2007 Robert LeRoy Cook 1917-1995 It is believed that Elva purchased the sewing machine for $10.00 about 1910. She used it to make clothing for her family and most likely, people in the neighborhood. At that time, flour came in cloth bags with floral print so the sack could be used to make clothing, dish towels. kitchen curtains, etc. The flour companies had several different prints so kids at school could have sack shirts and skirts, and there was a variety of colors and prints. Seamstresses usually made their own patterns for clothing, so being a seamstress required many skills. Sometimes a dress would be made for a doll, to show a stule or pattern for a potential customer.
