Notes Information for description comes from reproduced photo published in "The Monroe Journal" on June 13, 1956, page 8.   The article, retyped here as is except for the addition of [unknown male], notes that the original negative belonged to Mr. Fred L. Wolfe who provided the details for the photo.  Mr. Wolfe also further explained how customs had changed, as well as styles, that at this time it was not polite for a young lady, soon to be married, to attend social functions (in reference to Miss Jennie Ogburn).
