HERSHEY (Dauphin Co.)
Pennsylvania German patterns of
patchwork will please visitors of
the Hershey Museum through Jan
uary 2. A variety of quilts dating
from between 1850 and 1940 make
up the “Quilt Family Album” exhi
bition. Also included in this special
display are photographs of North
and South Annville Townships,
Lebanon County taken from glass
plate negatives, a treadle sewing
machine, a quilting frame, and
quilting templates and patterns.
The quilts in the exhibit were
chosen from a collection of more
than 30 heirloom bedcoverings
belonging to the family of Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Kenneth Rohland of
Cleona, Lebanon County. They
were made by women from the
Wengert, Bomberger, Steinmetz,
Ulrich, Kettering and Light fami
lies of Lebanon County and
passed down from generation to
generation by members of Mrs.
Arlene Bomberger Rohland’s
family.
Quilts and their stories were
traditionally passed from mother
to daughter or daughter-in-law.
Each quilt had its own story of a
mother, aunt, or grandmother who
had made it, and in this way, the
who are selected to participate in
the Governor’s Schools. Gradu
ates of the Governor’s Schools of
Excellence are eligible for merit
scholarships set aside by many of
the commonwealth’s state and pri
vate colleges and universities.
Additionally, the Bell Atlantic
Corporation awards merit scholar
ships to Governor’s School alum
ni whose leadership activities ben
efit their home schools and com
munities.
Piecing Together History
women’s history was preserved,
However, even through the
quilts have all endured, some of
the stories have been lost. The tra
dition of transferring the histories
orally was broken when two
young mothers’ untimely deaths
prevented them from passing the
family stories to their infant
daughters.
What has been learned about
the collection was gleaned from
family Bibles and papers, pub
lished genealogical studies, U.S.
Census schedules, oral interviews,
old photographs, and the quilts
themselves, some of which have
embroidered initials and dates.
The women who produced
these quilts were all farm wives
and mothers. They were responsi
ble not only for much productive
labor in the household, dairy and
garden, but also for the physical,
emotional and spiritually nurtur
ing of their children. Many women
also contributed to the family’s
income through the making and
selling of butter. Income from but
ter-making was probably used to
purchase the factory-produced
textiles used in many of the quilts,
as well as other commodities
needed by the family throughout

Farm women developed and
managed this cottage industry.
They were responsible for every
stage of production, from milking
the cows and churning the butter
to driving the wagons to market
and selling their product.
Because butter-making provid
ed a stable income, it took time
away from the production of hand
sewn textile products. Families
depended more on store-bought
commodities as their buttermak
ing capabilities increased.
With the advent of the sewing
machine, however, production
time for homemade textiles was
reduced. By April of 1880,

Machine with a cover and stand
for $2O. When the machines were
first introduced, they were used
only to combat the “drudgery” of
quiltmaking. They were used for
long, straight seams to set blocks
into sashing, to attach borders to
edges, and to piece whole-cloth
tops and backing together, as well,
although no quilts in this collec

stitching for applique work.
