I (Gaye
Fowler) don't know the exact location of the millinery, but I do know that
it was in existence in 1906 in Brownwood. I believe that the owner was a
Miss Taggart, but not sure about that. The woman on the right is Necie
Nicholson, my grandmother. She was working in the millinery in 1906.
In a letter dated April 10, 1906, my grandmother
Necie Nicholson Griffin states that they had their spring opening
yesterday. She mentions that Miss Taggart came back from the market.
This letter was written to her future husband and my grandfather Frank
Griffin. Necie Nicholson and Frank Griffin married in Brownwood December
25, 1906
