Hi, I also love finding “lost” or “barely remembered” stories, of women especially! Also, I love stories related to World Fairs and their impact on people. Thanks for posting this one. And it’s fairly recently that I realized just how many people died by the time they reached somewhere between their 20s-50s (if they made it that long), from diseases like tuberculosis, and how much that intimacy with death and the likelihood of it striking one at a young, or fairly young age, was for so long, including in the books (like Brahm Stoker’s Dracula) I so love. If you get the chance, please visit my blog and tell me what you think! I generally try to research, write, and post lesser- or little-known stories of residence and resilience. Although they are extremely powerful and valuable stories, nonetheless.
Thanks! Yours, too! Eric Larsen first mesmerized with his story about a murderer using a World Fair as his backdrop/ accomplice, and we’re reading one of his books next for our book club. It’s been a long time since I’ve read one of his novels!
Oh Thank You Iris for uncovering and revealing this gifted artist for me......I had never heard of her before......and your work about so many other talented women.....I look forward to your upcoming talk on march 30th at OCA .
Love this acknowledgement of a woman's work that hasn't been properly recognized. Inspiring!
Thank you, Carol!

Great story. The only thing of note I knew about Circleville before this was the Circleville Pumpkin Show!
I love that I am teaching a Ohioan about Ohio!
We appreciate all your work making these stories known. Thank you! Needed more than ever now.
Thank you so much! I feel even more committed to my project these days!
what a wonderful story. glad she got to the 1876 Centennial, and that her family finsihed her book - but sad she didn't get to do or see it
Thanks, Mary! Felt important to tell her story.
