Among the treasured artifacts displayed each spring in the dining room during the Cherry Blossom Festival is an antique chocolate pot with matching cups and saucers that once belonged to Laura Bradford (1827–1905). Decorated with a floral pattern that closely resemble cherry blossoms, the set serves as a reminder of both the season and one of Marshfield’s pioneer women. The set was gifted to Nicholas and Sarah Inman by Dorothy Goza and was one of the featured items viewed by visitors during the inaugural Homes and History Tour held as part of this year's Cherry Blossom Festival.

Mrs. Bradford was a survivor of the devastating Marshfield Cyclone of April 18, 1880. The storm claimed the lives of her husband, Dr. Thomas Bradford, and her son, Sidney Bradford. Her niece, Maggie Elizabeth Kibbe Inman, who had given birth to twin sons earlier that same morning, later succumbed to injuries sustained during the disaster. One of those twins was Robert Todd Inman, while his brother, Lincoln William Inman, was stillborn.

Following Maggie’s death, young Robert Todd Inman was lovingly raised by his great-aunt, Laura Bradford, along with Mammy Anna Prater. He would later serve his country for many years and was eventually pinned a Brigadier General.

Today, this chocolate set stands as more than a decorative artifact. It is a tangible link to a family whose story is intertwined with one of the most tragic days in Marshfield’s history and a testament to the resilience and perseverance of those who rebuilt their lives in its aftermath.

A special thank you to Hellen Newman for conducting tours of the house during the inaugural “Homes and History Tour” held during the Cherry Blossom Festival.

We have received so many positive comments regarding her tours, and we deeply appreciate the way she helped bring the story and history of the Dickey House alive for our festival visitors. Her passion for history made the experience truly memorable for all who attended.

Thank you, Hellen, for helping make this such a success!

We were so honored to host the DAR First Ladies Chapter as they put on the “First Ladies Walk” last Friday! School children from all around as well as adult guests were able to come “meet” these extraordinary women that each changed history in their own way!
What a great event!
