There was a lady who was born and raised in my home community who went to New York City about 1900 to learn everything she could about millinery.?ÿ Several years later she returned to this little community and ran a thriving business for many years, with clientele from a very wide area.?ÿ She never married, but, I do know some of her distant relatives as her family was among the early settlers here.
