Dressed with class. Over 100 years ago?
This is an old, old picture but it shows how styles change through the years and how the men and women copied the styles. Women evidently liked the ruffled collar and the fancy sleeves. Note two bracelets alike, two necklaces alike, slim waists and pins! Pins used to be worn and were stylish but how many do you see today? And how about that large bow at the back of one's head!!
The lady in the middle, Gertrude, ended up in Searcy AR. She married an Arkansas guy named Ballard Holmes and lived on our now popular Holmes Road. They built a large rock house in approximately 1916 that is still there, had 4 kids and helped Searcy grow. I assume that family is why Holmes Road is named Holmes Road!
