My Grandfather’s Time
My Great Grandfather, Henry B. Kolstad, wore this pocket watch on his wedding day in 1930. He gave the watch to his daughter, Doris, also known as my Grandma in the later years. The watch will have gone through four generations when it is received by myself. Henry died before I got a chance to know him so the watch resembles something concrete to remember him by. The face of FDR is located on the face of the watch. Being worn in 1930 makes it a mystery why is face would be on the watch because he became President in 1932.
