Ella May Morris wore this dress upon her marriage to Orlando A. Miller on October 20th, 1880, and also to her 50th wedding anniversary in 1930.
Ella was born February 7, 1860, in Woodsfield, Ohio where her father, William, was a dry goods merchant. She was one of ten children and the eldest daughter. Dry goods merchants often had access to dress materials and while there is no label for a dressmaker, this dress was most likely made by one as was typical for upper middle class families at this time. The style of this dress falls between the high bustle periods of the mid-1870s and mid-late 1880s. During the later 1870s and early 1880s, the bustle appears to have ‘fallen’ to behind the knees.
Ella’s husband, Orlando Miller, was born on September 24, 1859 in Belmont County, Ohio. He began working at the Central Ohio Paper Company as a bookkeeper in 1875, becoming a partner in 1880, the same year they married. He later served as company president from 1887-1928 and became chairman of the board in 1928. The Central Ohio Paper Company was one of 17 companies that formed the National Paper Trade Association in 1903 in New York City. Orlando served as its first president. Ella and Orlando had four children. The dress was donated by one of their granddaughters, Barbara Miller Boothby Arnold.

Nelle Spaulding wore this dress upon her marriage to Frank Clarence Wolfe on February 17th, 1902. Nelle was born in Athens County, Ohio on September 7, 1881, the only girl of three children. Her father, John, worked as a farmer. Nelle's dress is fashionable for 1902 and a typical good dress for a farmer's daughter or working class woman that would be worn for special occasions such as going to church on Sundays. These dresses were often worn as wedding dresses because not all levels of society had the economic wherewithal to afford a special white wedding dress that would be only worn once. Nelle's husband, Frank Wolfe, was born October 27, 1876 and also worked as a farmer until they moved to Columbus just prior to 1930. Nelle and Frank had three children: Alice, Charlotte and Francis. Sadly, Frank passed away in an accident in 1934. Nelle continued to live in Columbus until her passing in 1956.

This dress was worn by Lucile Joyce on the occasion of her wedding to James Edward Hagerty October 26th, 1907. Dr. Hagerty had been a professor at Ohio State University for six years at the time of his marriage and would have a long and illustrious career with the university. They had five children together. Lucile was the daughter of John Joyce who immigrated to the United States in 1851 and was the founder of the Green-Joyce Company. It was a highly successful dry goods business that began operation in 1884. Sadly, John Joyce died of a heart attack shortly after his daughter's wedding in January of 1908. After his passing, the Green-Joyce Company continued to operate until 1929, when it became a victim of the stock market crash. By 1900, the number of dressmakers listed in the city directory had decreased to a mere 125, almost one third of those only 5 years previous. The listing of ladies' tailors, however, had increased from one (Thomas Higgs) to seven. Kate Hoffer opened her dressmaking business in 1899 at 1409 N. High St. Her husband Frank was then working as a barber. By 1901, the dressmaking business listing was under Frank's name. It must have been a more lucrative business than barbering, because by 1902 Frank was listed as a tailor. By 1910 the business was located at 256 Oak St., while the Hoffer's resided on fashionable E. Broad St. at number 1039--with Frank listed as a dressmaker and Katie as a ladies tailor. Like, Daisy Schaefer, Kate was of German descent. Born in West Virginia in 1861, she was seven years older than Daisy. She married Frank in 1884 and had two daughters who were 16 and 13 when the dressmaking business opened. The Historic Costume & Textiles Collection owns three dresses with Kate and Frank Hoffer's label.

Edith May Knapp wore this dress upon her marriage to Luther Marsh Berry November 29, 1905. Edith was born in Smyrna, Michigan on December 6, 1882 to Janett Hayes and Eliud Knapp, who was a traveling paint salesman until he began his own paint manufacturing company. Edith was the only girl of five children in the family. One of her older brothers, Clyde, brought the pineapple cloth used in her wedding dress back with him from the Philippines. Clyde (pictured below) had been stationed in the Philippines as part of the Army during the Spanish American War. Luther (Louis) Marsh Berry was born in Orleans, Michigan on February 10, 1873 to Emaline Babcock and Leander Berry, one of seven children. He was 11 years older than his bride. Lou and Edith did not have a lot of money when they married. They moved in with his uncle after their marriage, eventually inheriting that house. Lou worked at his father-in-law's roofing paint company, E.J. Knapp & Co. as a manufacturer, while Edith herself worked as a bookkeeper in a dry goods store before their children came along. Edith and Luther would have two children: Austin Luther Berry and Jeannette Berry Brubaker. Edith remained a homemaker until she was in her late 50's or early 60's when she went to work for the Belding Banner News in Belding, MI where she wrote a local column for more than 20 years. She and Luther were married for 54 years prior to Luther's passing in 1966. Edith would pass away in 1969.

Florence Kenyon Hayden wore this dress upon her marriage to James Manard Rector on August 3, 1910. Florence was born in St. Louis, MO on August 22, 1881 to Katie and Horace Hayden. Horace was a merchant who passed away when Florence was only a year old, and the family moved to Columbus, Ohio shortly thereafter. Florence began studying architecture at the Ohio State University in 1901 and completed two years of school before withdrawing to begin her career, which included teaching architecture at the university from 1905-1907. Florence is known as the first licensed female architect in the state of Ohio and was recommended to the OSU Board of Trustees to design Oxley Hall, the first women's dormitory on campus, in 1907. She ran her business under the name Kenyon Hayden and it is thought that the Board presumed she was a man. Upon learning the truth, the Board assigned her a male partner, Wilbur Mills. In a 1970 interview with The Columbus Dispatch, Florence describes how she became fed up with Wilbur Mills and locked him out of the office. She then submitted the final plans for the dormitory on her own, and they were approved. While both Florence and Wilbur's name appear on the plans, it is understood that Florence was the principal architect. After marrying James Rector, a prominent physician, Florence began to design medical offices for which she gained national recognition. In addition to her work as an architect, Florence was also an important figure in the women's rights movement of the early twentieth century. She was the financial chairwoman of the National Women's Party in 1921.

Henriette Séroi wore this dress upon her marriage to PFC Colin Wilford Robertson on August 21, 1919 in Auch, France. Henriette was born in Versailles, France on March 12, 1896. Her father served with the French Army during World War I and in 1917 was transferred south to the village of Auch, due west of Toulouse in southern France. During the war Henriette volunteered with the Red Cross and helped look after her younger siblings. She also studied music and English. Her brother René married Jehanne Perchet in Dijon in 1918. Jehanne was an instructor of modern languages as well as a talented artist. She drew a cartoon of a young French girl gazing up admiringly at a tall American soldier and titled it, "L’homme du jour!"(The man of the day!) Henriette visited them in March 1919. Private Colin W. Robertson was born July 3, 1987 in Newton, MA. He was not yet 21 when he landed in Brest, France as part of the American Expeditionary Forces in 1917. His Company spent the next six months doing roadwork and digging trenches and latrines, not very glamorous work, but he spent his time mastering the French language. When interpreters were needed, he applied for the assignment and became an Army Field Clerk and was sent to Paris in 1918 to work with the Postal Express Service. He eventually got a permanent assignment on the Paris to Dijon mail run. On his first Dijon trip, he traveled with the person he was replacing, George Axtell, who was also visiting friends René and Jehanne Séroi, who George thought Colin would enjoy meeting. Colin met Henriette at this time and was smitten. As it was soon to be Henriette's birthday, Jehanne gave her the cartoon she had drawn as a birthday gift. Colin wrote Henriette's father, asking permission to write her and eventually visit in Auch, and so began their long distance courtship. The marriage announcement was posted in July, and with little more than a month before the wedding, fabric was procured from Paris for the dress and Colin was charged with shopping for Henriette's wedding slippers at Galleries Lafayette. The couple decided to go the United States so Colin could take his discharge from the army and had intentions of returning to live in France. However, their son Jacques was born a little over a year later in Seattle, WA, in October 1920, followed by daughter Mariette in 1922. Henriette returned with her children to France by passenger ship in 1924, and the entire family made the trip again in 1935.

Anna and Daniel Stoner had only three children, one of whom was Ola Glen Stoner, born June 25, 1889. Ola married Morris N. Pigman in 1922. Ola's silk satin dress with a hemline between the ankle and knee and train emanating from the shoulder was typically fashionable for 1922. It is much less fitted than her mother's dress of 1888, and in keeping with the looser fashions of the 1920's. The pattern of the silk lace is beautifully displayed as it drapes from the shoulder to wrist. Ola's husband, Morris, was the son of Margaret and Daniel Morris Pigman, a manager of a dry goods department store. Morris was a bank clerk prior to his marriage and continued working in banks in the years following. Ola and Morris had only one child, a daughter, named Margaret Ann, who donated her mother's and grandmother's dresses to the Historic Costume & Textiles Collection.

Libby Medoff married Louis Weiner on March 22, 1925, in Pittsburgh, PA, and her daughter, Harriet Faye Weiner, married Frederic Alvin Green on June 18, 1950, in Canton, OH. Libby was born September 2, 1905 in Pittsburgh, PA to Becky Kramer and David Medoff, who emigrated from Kiev, Russia shortly before the turn of the century. Libby was the oldest of three children and the only girl. Her father worked as a cap-maker before and after moving to the U.S. His must have been a lucrative business as he was able to afford this elaborately beaded wedding gown for his daughter. It was originally longer as can be seen in the portrait of her, but as fashions for shorter hemlines proceeded through the decade of the 1920s, Libby must have shortened the dress to extend its life for other formal or dance occasions. Libby's husband, Louis Weiner was born on October 12, 1898 in Pliskov, Russia to Anna Schneider and Eli Weiner. Louis arrived in the U.S. from Russia on August 19, 1913. Louis' father, Eli, was a barrel dealer. Shortly after their marriage, Libby and Louis moved from Pittsburgh to Canton, OH, where Louis worked as a pharmacist at Physician's Pharmacy for 40 years, and their daughter, Harriet was born on January 23, 1930.

Marian F. Schold wore this dress for her marriage to Robert L. Bush on June 29, 1946. Marion was born on February 28, 1924 in Muskegon, Michigan to Esther and Helgie Schold, who had emigrated from Sweden in 1906 and worked in a factory. Robert Bush was born on May 10, 1923 also in Muskegon to Jacob and Elizabeth Bush. Jacob, the son of a farmer, was a laborer who worked as a railroad motorman, painter, and machinist throughout his lifetime. Robert was a staff sergeant in the 474th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force during WWII. He was given a parachute that was damaged when someone broke into their supply room in France, as it was deemed no longer usable. He carried it in his footlocker throughout France, Germany and Belgium until his return to Michigan in December of 1945. He intended to have a wedding dress made from it for his bride-to-be. The parachute was spread out in Marion's backyard and they cut out all the panels with writing on them. The rest they gave to a dressmaker who made the gown for Marion as a wedding present. Marian later cut off the train in order to use the dress as a formal for dances. Living on $90 a month from the GI Bill of Rights didn't provide any money to buy formal dresses. Marion and Robert lived in Muskegon after their marriage until Robert began studies that fall at The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "After celebrating 53 years of marriage, Marian died on November 8, 1999. It is with a great deal of joy that I donate this wedding dress to the Historic Costume & Textiles Collection at OSU" Robert L. Bush, October 26, 2000
