You can visit the memorial page for Mary [Mitchell] "Polly" Garrigues.

Below is quite possibly the chair that Mary brought to the marriage when she became the wife of William Garrigues.  It has been handed down through the family, generation after generation and has always been known as 'The Mary Mitchell Chair'.
