The ladies look very serious and determined in their love of God. I love their dresses which are so varied and individual--and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this photograph.
ReplyDeleteNancy: Thanks for stopping by. We love this photo - some great looking ladies. I will be doing a follow-up story on Mae Cooper (middle, second row).
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful photo. I can not wait to hear more about Mae Cooper.
ReplyDeleteYvette: We are trying to find out more about her. We have shared this information with the Newfield NY Historical Society folks. They are working on a project to feature the outstanding women of Newfield, and May is on the list.
