Kay Tegelaar and her mother, Dora Naylor Jones, and her aunt, Bernice Naylor Clarke made a donation to the Town of Ogden's historical collection. Sisters Dora Jones and Bernice Clarke were born in Ogden in 1914 and 1916, respectively. The gift of an antique quilt and handwoven blanket represents a significant reflection of the town's past. The quilt bears the names of over 20 Ogden women who contributed squares and is estimated to be 140 to 150 years old. It was owned by Harriet Electa Clark Gundry, the grandmother of Dora and Bernice and passed down from Harriet to Dora and Bernices mother, Electa Flora Gundry. The Clark Family lived on Stony Point Road. The sisters both attended the Stony Point School at the corner of Vroom Road and Sunday School at the Methodist Church of North Chili. Dora was the Historian in Byron for 20 years. The quilt was on display at the North Chili Quilt Show September 15 and 16.
