Sepia Saturday: She made hats

[dee_burris]

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.

That's what I figured, Bob. Like the posed photos of the entire family outside of their farm home that were common of the mid to late 19th century, complete with the horses/mules and milk cow.
