I am working on the re-interpretation of a 1901 pioneer house in Florida to
the period 1875-1910.  We have photographs of the living room and exterior
but none of the rest of the house which includes three bedrooms and a
kitchen.  I will be traveling around Florida in the next few months visiting
houses and archives to gather information for this and for a maritime
exhibit.  Any assistance along these lines would be much appreciated.  Also:

--We would like to make some reproduction mattresses (to replace the current
box springs and mattress).  Does anyone know of a source of mattress
ticking? or have information on mattresses of this era.

--I found a diary with a to grass matting on the floor.  Would anyone have
any information on what was used.

Thanks so much,

Susannah Worth,
