THE STORY OF THE CANE
My grandfather, Walter Thomas Henry Taylor, was orphaned when he was eight years old and went to live with his older sister, Mary, in Waltham, Massachusetts. He was forced to go to work to support himself and worked sweeping the floors in the Waltham Watch Co. factory. When he was in his teens, his sister and her fiance, Sam, were married and Walter moved with them to the south (Georgia). He worked at various jobs while there and whiled away the hours by whittling hickory sticks. He carved a fancy cane and gave it to his brother-in-law Samuel Chamberlin.
After a few years, Walter returned to Massachusetts to continue his manufacturing education with the Waltham Watch Co. and found an apartment nearby. When he was twenty-two, he married a lovely young school teacher, Emily Chamberlin, from Abington, Massachusetts.
While cleaning out and packing Emily's belongings for the move to their apartment in Waltham, MA., Walter found a cane leaning against a wall behind a door. He asked his new bride where she got the cane. Emily replied, "I got it from my cousin, Sam Chamberlin. Some young fellow down south whittled it for him."
It was the same cane that Walter had made as a teenager! No one in the family was aware that Sam Chamberlin's wife, Mary, was Walter's sister.
