- Object History
- Enid Anderson (Knight) was born in 1926 and grew up in Vancouver. She met her husband Perry Knight and they married in 1953. Over the years, Perry was transferred for work and they moved several times. In 1971 they moved to Burnaby and remained for 35 years. This child's rocking chair was a gift to Enid from her Aunt Elsie and Uncle Bill Anderson on her 3rd birthday on December 1, 1929. It was enjoyed by Enid and her sister, Lorraine and then by their children. Enid passed away in May 2008 and Perry in June 2016. Their children, Nancie and Bill chose to donate the rocker to Heritage Village since their parents enjoyed visiting the Village and had previously donated items for display.
