My great-grandmother had a very dear friend,
Etola Robinson, and saved many of her letters which I shared over the course of a year. The letters have been found here by Chris, who is researching her husband's family. I am thrilled that her family now knows of the letters and that Chris contacted me! She was also kind enough to share a photograph of Toley with me and to give me premission to share it with all of you who have been following her story.
She was very beautiful! We know from the letters that she was a dress maker and stayed up with the latest fashions, often making over older things to update them. And she also made hair pieces.
I still do not have an ending for Toley's story. Chris believes she was still alive in 1926. Stay tuned........
