In May of 2014, this presentation was
made at the Pewaukee Historical Society.
A couple from Pewaukee, the Sampson’s,
brought this jug to the event. It had been
part of a collection of heirlooms that had
been moved from a farm house southwest
of Pewaukee about one mile out of town.
In comparing, the various jugs that are
known, this is probably the most pristine
and best stenciled example. They plan on
donating it to the Historical Society at some
point in the future.
Micael Kom arrived in New York on May 25th, 1846. He lists his occupation as "farmer".
