She was married in early 1900's. Not sure of the date. I scanned a copy of her obituary, but some of it got cut off and that is what I am missing. All I see is 190..... I will have to go back to the cousin who is going through things and scan it again. I will keep that information with the sewing machine.
Yeah, I am lucky to have them and excited to bring them back to life. I am not sure I can get the singer going, but after I remove some rust, it might start moving.
