In the year 1868, in Richmond, Virginia, a family whose infant had passed approached Henry Cooke, a free Black man skilled in cabinet and furniture making about a casket. Henry purchased lumber and made a baby casket. He later made a second casket and placed it in front of his building on 16th and Broad Street.
