Seems as though people used straight-backed rocking chairs then perhaps to ease back pain as did JFK by mid-century.

So people rented certain pews at the church;? Is that what James Roger was referring to?

And of the prominence of wooden chairs in the living room depicted. Was that a thing back then rather than having lots of upholstery as seating? Have we all gone soft in modern times?

There were 3 Thurston girls, Madeline, Margaret, and Clara. Madeline had a nephew Frank in Boston. I rented a room from a Thurston in Boston for 1 year, I forgot her first name.
