...and just what did she mend with? A Dorcas Thimble?

The monogram on the thimble  my mother gave to me is

 GGM.

It looks exactly like the one in the

picture, dated 1880. It also has the Pat.6 on it. I think we

can guess where it might have been

in 1913.....Georgie must have

either given to my mother, Henryetta, 

or family gave it to her after Georgie's

death in 1954.  Both were living in Charlotte, NC

at the time.
