Elizabethan silverware, brought to this country from England about 300 years ago, will be sent to an upstate bank for safekeeping by members of the Parrott family here. The ware is of small intrinsic value, but a great sentimental value is attached to it. It has been in the Parrott family, locally prominent for generations, hundreds of years. It is the property at present of Thomas and Marion Grainger, whose mother was a member of the Parrott family.
