Our first trunk belonged to Claire T. McKinsey. Claire was born September 2, 1892 in Sacramento, California. She grew up in Hanford where her father was the Coroner. The family later moved to Oroville where her father continued his business as a mortician. He was the first in the area to use a motorized hearse. Upon his death, Claire inherited his funeral home, Chapel of the Palms Mortuary. She married a man who’s ambition was to play professional golf. Thinking this was not an appropriate life course she filed for divorce – a choice she regretted the rest of her life. Claire was an unstoppable world traveler having visited Jordan, Hong Kong, Saigon, Italy, Japan, Germany, France, England, India, Cambodia, Jerusalem, Burma, and Spain. Many of the treasures she picked up on her trips are offered in our Etsy shop and she would enjoy knowing they are still loved. See them at OpenTrunkMercantile.Etsy.com.
