From The Descendants of Piercifor F. Richards and Elizabeth Mechling: A Collection of Family Storys, Some Old Photos With a Family Index by Fred F. Richards:
Elizabeth's father was not well pleased with Elizabeths's marriage to an older man who had very little of this worlds's goods. The Mechling family was substantial they were early settlers with large families The young couple moved to a cabin by themselves and setup housekeeping with very meager furnishings. One evening her brothers came to visit and brought a little iron pot and a feather bed which Elizabeth's mother had sent for them. That little pot was kept by Percifer and was given to Vernon who preserved the story and cared for the old relic.[...] Upon Vernon's death, the pot went to Elmer Stachli[...].
