Helen Knopf, married Charles Gibson McKinney on November 25, 1908 in Cincinnati, Ohio in this dress when she was 24 years of age. Helen was the youngest of five children born to Julius and Caroline Knopf, who had immigrated to Cincinnati from Germany. Julius was a cigar maker by trade and prior to her marriage, Helen attended Teachers Training College in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Charles McKinney was two years older than Helen and the second of four sons born to Alice and William McKinney. William was a coal solicitor and later a real estate agent. After Charles’ and Helen’s marriage, they lived with William McKinney before eventually moving to their own home in Millcreek, Ohio, just outside of Cincinnati. Charles worked as a clerk at the time of their marriage and later as superintendent of a factory for several businesses. The couple would have three children.
Helen’s dress was made by Emma Busam, a dressmaker in Madisonville, Ohio, near Cincinnati. Emma was born in 1872, the youngest of Susan and Leopold Busam’s four children. It is unclear when Emma began working as a dressmaker but seems to have had an established business when she made Helen Knopf’s wedding dress. A copy of the receipt for the dress in the amount of $44.49 accompanied its donation to OSU. In terms of today’s dollars the cost would be about $1148.36, still a relatively good price for a custom-made wedding gown.

Beatrice Celia Borg wore this dress when she married Frederick Michael Stein in New York, New York on November 26, 1903. Her daughter, Cecelia Borg Stein, would alter it for her marriage to William Arthur Cullman on July 1, 1937.
Beatrice Celia Borg was born in 1881, one of three children of Cecilia Lichtenstadter and Simon Borg, who was born in Germany and migrated to Memphis, TN to work as a cotton broker. He founded the bank that would later become the Manhattan Bank & Trust, and moved to Manhattan by 1869. Beatrice’s mother, Cecilia, was a prominent philanthropist and one of the founders of Barnard College. Simon and Cecilia had seven children, Beatrice being the eldest daughter. Unfortunately, both of Beatrice’s parents died shortly following her marriage.
Frederick Stein was the son of Pauline Bernard and Solomon Stein. He was the only son of four children born to the couple. Solomon immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1841. His father co-owned a clothing manufacturer, Stein & Brother, which funded the family fortune. Eventually these Steins moved to New York City sometime after 1872. Frederick attended Harvard University from 1891-1893 before leaving to join his father’s business. Prior to his marriage, Fred travelled extensively with his cousin, Leo Stein, older brother of Gertrude Stein, a pioneer in modernist writing and well-known collector of modern art.
Beatrice and Fred’s wedding was a lavish affair that was documented in the local newspapers. The ceremony was held at Beatrice’s parent’s home on Fifth Avenue in New York. The bride had 10 attendants and 250 guests at the reception. The home was transformed with palm trees, ferns, lilies and roses to create a conservatory effect.
Fred and Beatrice had three children, two sons and one daughter, Celia, the youngest.
Cecelia Borg Stein was born April 17, 1914 and married William Arthur Cullman on July 1, 1937. W. Arthur Cullman was born December 27, 1914 to Francis Wolf and Joseph Frederick Cullman Jr., one of five children. The family resided in New York City.
This wedding also took place in Manhattan, and Cecelia did her best to duplicate her mother’s elaborate wedding even in the midst of the Great Depression. She had the same number of attendants and a bridal party photo with a backdrop of palm trees.

Title
A name given to the resource
And the Bride Wore
Description
An account of the resource
And The Bride Wore…
…is a phrase that often appeared in newspaper accounts of weddings throughout the twentieth century, describing the dress chosen by the bride for one of the most sartorially significant moments of her life. We chose it as the title of this exhibition about wedding dresses, because we wanted the focus to be on the dress itself, the bride and the material culture background story about both.
As with all exhibitions, making the choices about which artifacts to display is often difficult because of the breadth of worthy items from which to choose. We solved this dilemma in two ways. The first was to create two installations so we could show as many wedding gowns in the collection as possible. The second was to organize the dresses into categories for interesting groupings. For this exhibition, the groupings are: Something Old—a dress of a certain age, Something New—a dress relatively recent, Something Borrowed—a dress borrowed from a former bride, Something Blue—in this case, a non-white dress, Local Stories—a dress with an interesting story relevant to a local Columbus or Ohio store, War Brides—dresses with stories related to times of war, and Generation Gap—dresses from multiple generations in one family.
Again, with exhibitions, they do not happen without considerable help and I would like to acknowledge that help here. Assistant curator, Marlise Schoeny, did thorough “background checks” on the brides to uncover information to include in the informational labels, and also created the photo gallery of brides for whom we have portraits but are not in the exhibition—a method of including those for which we don’t have the space to physically display. Friend of the Collection, Jennifer Brown of Romance Studio created several headpieces to accompany our gowns; those pieces are noted in the labels. Volunteers Julie Burnsides dressed several of our mannequins in their varied period attire, and Jackie Farbeann employed her needle to stabilize those artifacts that needed tender loving care. In addition, volunteers Kathy Copeland, Connie Cummings, and Joyce Smith helped with many tasks, large and small, to make this exhibition as well as the daily operations of the Historic Costume & Textiles Collection a success.

Physical Object
An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance. Note that digital representations of, or surrogates for, these objects should use Moving Image, Still Image, Text or one of the other types.
Provenance
The primary purpose of tracing the provenance of an object or entity is normally to provide contextual and circumstantial evidence for its original production or discovery, by establishing, as far as practicable, its later history, especially the sequences of its formal ownership, custody, and places of storage.
Mary Augusta McAllister wore this dress when she married Joseph Glenn Ebersole on October 13, 1881 in Mount Vernon, Indiana.
Mary was one of two children, and the only daughter, born to Alexander and Evelina McAllister. She was born in Mount Vernon, Indiana on April 27, 1857. Mary’s father was a successful dry goods merchant who owned and operated his own store.
Joseph Glenn Ebersole was born April 26, 1852 in Aurora, Indiana to Dr. Jacob Ebersole and his wife, Frances, the third of six children. Joseph’s father, Dr. Ebersole, was a surgeon in the 19th Indiana Infantry in the Civil War, enlisting for the Union on July 29, 1861. Following the war, Dr. Ebersole gave up his practice as a doctor and moved his family to Cincinnati, Ohio. His father-in-law, William Glenn, owned a dry goods store in Cincinnati and Dr. Ebersole went to work as a grocer. It was here, at Glenn Williams & Sons, that Joseph Ebersole was employed when he and Mary McAllister were wed.
Mary had her dress made at B. Altman & Co in New York and shipped to Cincinnati. She also made use of the phrase, “something borrowed,” by wearing her sister-in-law, Lydia McAllister’s, wedding petticoat, which had been worn in 1877.
Mary and Joseph lived in Cincinnati following their wedding and shortly thereafter, Joseph entered into a partnership in a piano manufacturing company. Joseph and Mary had four children together and remained in Cincinnati.

Rita Jane Elliott wore this dress to her marriage with Lewis David Stethem on March 16, 1957 in Columbus, Ohio.
Rita Elliott was the older of two daughters born to Evelyn Smith and Harold Elliott in Columbus, Ohio on February 21, 1935. Her father was a shoe buyer and department manager for the Schiff Company. He later became vice-president and then president of Cambridge Ltd. Inc.
Rita and Dave, her husband, met in a business law class at The Ohio State University in January, 1956. The class was held in the old Armory building. Dave graduated from OSU in December, 1956 and Rita would graduate the next spring, in June, 1957. They married three months before her graduation.
Rita’s dress was purchased from Madisons, a local Columbus high-end women’s clothing store located on High Street just north of Broad Street. It was a family business that started in the 1920s and grew into a chain of 32 stores by the 1980s throughout the Midwest. Its closest competition in Columbus was Montaldo’s, another women’s boutique that also had a bridal salon, as did Cole of Columbus and Lazarus. Madison’s closed in 1994 due in part to competition from the newly opened downtown City Center Mall.

Doris Jacqueline Fyfe wore this dress when she married David Gilbert Thomas on December 22, 1945 in New Jersey.
Doris Fyfe was born in New Jersey on March 30, 1923, the oldest of Edward and Hilda Fyfe’s three girls. Her father was an accountant and later a bank president.
David Thomas was born January 29, 1922 in New Jersey to William and Mabel Thomas. William was an electrical equipment salesman.
Doris and David met in high school and began dating at the age of fifteen. Their romance continued through high school until David enlisted in the army for World War II. They became engaged while he was deployed during the war so Doris planned the wedding under the assumption that they would marry whenever he had leave and was able to come home. David sent money for Doris to buy herself an engagement ring with his mother. When she chose a ring, she had a professional photograph taken of her hand and sent to him overseas.
It was some time, however, before David was able to come home for his wedding. He served in Guatemala during the war, working with military records, and although the war officially ended with the surrendering of Japan on September 2, 1945, he could not get stateside until December. This was probably due to the amount of records that needed processing before he was allowed to go home. Since Doris had to plan a wedding that could happen at any time, her gown of lightweight fabric and open-toed shoes might seem inappropriate for a winter wedding.
The bridesmaids’ dresses shown with Doris’ wedding dress were worn by her sister Carol (peach, maid of honor) and her cousin, Marian Karch (faded, formerly blue). The smaller junior bridesmaid dress (green) was worn by her youngest sister, Marilyn. The fourth bridesmaid was a friend of the bride. The male attendants included the groom’s brother, Russell Thomas, a friend in the Marines, Herbert Conant, and another friend in the Navy.
Following their wedding the couple lived with Doris’ parents until moving into their own apartment in nearby Ridgefield Park, NJ and later their own home in Maywood, NJ. David attended NYU on the GI Bill and was an accountant and later worked in insurance. Doris and David were happily married for 28 years until David’s passing in 1974.

Henrietta Williams wore this dress at her marriage to Daniel Beem Merrill on October 5, 1893 in Jersey, Ohio.
Henrietta Williams was born February 20, 1872, the second of Robert and Martha Williams’ three daughters. Robert, her father, was a farmer.
Daniel Merrill was born December 20, 1867 to Oliver and Jerusha Merill in Jersey, Ohio. Daniel was the youngest of five children. His father, worked as both a farmer and a merchant. Daniel’s two older sisters, Rosa and Libbie, worked as a store clerk and a dressmaker respectively.
Henrietta’s dress is fashionable for 1893 and a typical ‘good’ dress for a farmer’s daughter or working class woman that would also 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 worn only once. Henrietta’s economic background probably led her to choose this dress for her wedding.
Daniel and Henrietta moved to Columbus after their marriage and Daniel would work as a real estate dealer and a carpenter. The couple had six children, one of whom became a physician and another, a dentist.

Provenance
The primary purpose of tracing the provenance of an object or entity is normally to provide contextual and circumstantial evidence for its original production or discovery, by establishing, as far as practicable, its later history, especially the sequences of its formal ownership, custody, and places of storage.
Anna McAfee married Daniel H. Stoner on June 27th, 1888, and her daughter, Ola Glen Stoner, married Morris Nathaniel Pigman on June 7th, 1922. Both weddings took place in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, southeast of Pittsburgh, and most likely in the same church.
Anna Laura McAfee was born January 4th, 1868 in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, and even though her father worked as a day laborer, he was able to afford a special white dress for his daughter’s wedding. Although not ‘white’ according to our thinking today, the natural cream colors of the fabric and lace in this dress were considered
white at this time when many wedding dresses for middle class brides were a more serviceable darker color and could be worn for occasions after the wedding day. The hand-painted floral designs on the satin panels of this dress make it extra special and its full rear bustle puts it in the height of fashion for 1888.
Anna’s husband, Daniel Stoner, was born in 1862 also in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. His father was also a day laborer. Both of Daniel’s parents came from large families. His father was one of thirteen children and his mother one of ten. After Anna’s and Daniel’s marriage, Daniel Stoner worked for the Union Supply Company as a manager at various stores for fifty years until his retirement. Anna and Daniel had only three children, one of whom was Ola Glen Stoner, born June 25, 1889 and married to Morris N. Pigman in 1922.
