#24. Handed Down. Shoes from my Great Great Grandmother
In my collection of family artifacts are a pair of shoes! And also a dress or two!
They belonged to Lois Jasper Lloyd. Her nickname was Tiny Weenie Grandma.
They belonged to Lois Jasper Lloyd. Her nickname was Tiny Weenie Grandma.
Lois was born in Kentucky in 1841 and died in Waitsburg, Washington in 1930. She had interesting life, heading west on the Oregon Trail in 1854, moving to Waitsburg in 1859.
I believe the shoes say it all!
They are very small & dainty.
But the shoes required lots of lacing!
I wonder which dress she wore them with!
A black dress?
Or a blue/gray dress?
Or the black dress located at the Bruce Memorial Museum in Waitsburg, Washington?
