I've just found some ladies who were Hard Straighteners  :o


- in 1851, mind you.  Genuine - beautiful handwriting from the enumerator.  (To do with needle-making, it seems.)

14 Mingers...

But only 2 of them are women!
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
