The above is a scene of the dress-making parlor of Mrs. F. D. Morgan located over the Ainley's millinery store which today is part of the National Tea Co. here. The photograph, taken in 1892, is remarkable for its sharpness and the picture has been well preserved for the past 49 years. Those standing and seated at their various occupations as members of the force that made the dresses of the latest fashions and most modern styles of the day are, left to right, Bertie Betty, Katie McVealy (deceased), Mrs. Lina Swanson (the former Lina Lindahl), Mrs. F. D. Morgan (deceased), Maude Swanson (formerly of Genoa) and Lilly Warford. -- Photo through the courtesy of Guy Morgan of Sycamore.
