Jane Milner Needlework Sampler Lancaster, Pennsylvania 1830 Jane at age seventeen, when she made this sampler, was grateful for her ability to admire beauty and we are grateful for her ability to create it.

In the bottom cartouche are initials of her parents CM (Cyrus Milner) and SM (Sarah Carter). Jane was the middle child of eleven. At age 22, on New Year's Eve day, she married Jacob Levi Kirk and they had seven children. She died at age 59 and was buried in Eastland Friends Burial Ground, Little Britain, Lancaster, PA.
