History & Notes: Upon donating this lovely wrapper in 1972, Harriet Doerr stated that the piece belonged to her grandmother, Mrs. C.C. Rinehart. Mrs. Rinehart wore the wrapper as a robe after the birth of her son Frank Atwood Rinehart in Pennsylvania. The family came to Idaho in 1897 when Frank was still a young boy.
