Sepia Saturday: She made hats
This is a photo I estimate to be circa 1868-1875 of the millinery shop owned and operated by my great-great grandmother, Mary Emily (Conner) Meek in Grenada Co., MS. (Click here to read more about her.)
From comparing the only known photo I have of her to this one, I think grandmama was the lady seated to the right of the post.
But I can't be sure.
This is a Sepia Saturday post. Head over there for more wonderful photos.

(Anonymous) 2013-01-27 11:34 (UTC)(link)Did you know that the Meek surname is (also) Dutch? Oldest record I could find is an Elisabeth Meek who had her daughter baptized in New Amsterdam on July 21, 1697.
