Miss Orpha Schoonover -- Dress Maker
Orpha Schoonver was my
Step-dad's maternal great grandmother. In 1909 she was still single and in her mid to late 20's. She along with a friend opened a dress shop in downtown Prairieburg, Iowa.
To give you and idea of what the fashion was during that time, below are images taken from various Iowa newspapers in 1909-1910
Until next time,
Becky
