Aside from a few details, this was written by Thomas's great granddaughter, Ethel Schilling-carved. I will attach a picture of it. (NOTE: After reading the story of William Darby Cooper (KWVM-CPS), who is Rachel's nephew's (Richard Prince KWZ6-35L) wife's father), I wonder to myself if it was William Darby Cooper who made the comb for his daughter's (Martha Ann Mildred Cooper) husband's aunt (Rachel Prince)! According to William Darby Cooper's story, he carved combs out of mahogany. The comb was inside the box belonging to Rachel Prince! It is hand-carved!
