The dresser might have been part of John Leonard Love's inheritance when Jesse Love passes away. The handles on the dresser were replaced at some time with modern hardware. The hardware was replaced with more appropriate hardware for the 1920 time period. The dresser is located in the master bedroom of the Love farmhouse.
