Provenance

This wedding took place at the Henneburg family home on Portland Avenue in Cripple Creek, Colorado in 1899. Georgia's sister was the seamstress and they were two of 10 sisters who all moved from Kansas.
This dress was technically donated by Georgia's youngest daughter Ellen Dougherty Javete, but with the help of her daughter-in-law.
