Treasure Chest Thursday - Elizabeth Owen - Cross Stitch Sampler

Elizabeth Owen was b. 3 Mar 1819 daughter of Cotton and Lydia (Cotton) Owen. She m. Alfred Haskell 14 Dec 1844, presumably in Portland, Maine although I have not found the marriage record yet. Alfred and Elizabeth are my great-great grandparents. They lived in Portland, Cumberland County, Maine and both are buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Portland. Elizabeth d. 3 Sept 1888 at age 69 years 6 months.

She created this cross-stitch sampler at age 11 (ca 1830). As you can see the thread colors are quite faded from this piece being displayed in a sunny room for many years.
