Household Items
Cup and Saucer
These were presented as a gift to Wilson Andersen (1882-1942) and his wife Harriet (1886-1963) by Rev. and Mrs. Lenz. The German inscription reads "His/Her Silver Anniversary".
Cup
This belonged to Bertha Andersen (1872-1950). She often took her morning tea in bed while waiting for the house to warm up. Wood stoves would only be lit after you got up each day.
Clock
This was removed from the Manse basement. A note inside reads: Part of Hebron grandfather clock. Now at Makkovik to be repaired.
Typewriter
This was most likely the property of one of our German missionaries. The keyboard has the Z and Y keys in reverse position. [Four missionaries from Germany were: Rev.Jannasch, Rev.Lenz, Rev.Hettasch, and Rev.Volprecht]
Radio Telephone
This is part of a Radio Telephone. It was the first means of long distance communication along the coast. However, it was not very efficient or reliable.
Medicine Chest
This chest was brought over from Ben's Cove in the 1930's. The first hospital in Makkovik was built in 1961, so many relied on home remedies for common ailments.
