On April 13, 1933, Buck Barrow's wife Blanche had been playing solitaire on the table. She could see Buck through the kitchen window as he washed their car out back, in preparation for the two of them leaving the next day. She was at the stove boiling an egg for Bonnie when the shootout began. When Blanche heard the gunfire, she grabbed her dog Snowball and put him on the table to keep him safe.

*Stove is non working and for decorative purposes only.
