Coggin School - late teens or 1920s J.W. Griffin shown - others unknown	Brownwood Millinery ca1906. I don't know the exact location of the millinery, but I do know that it was in existence in 1906 in Brownwood. I believe that the owner was a Miss Taggart, but not sure about that. The woman on the right is Necie Nicholson, my grandmother. She was working in the millinery in 1906. In a letter dated April 10, 1906, my grandmother Necie Nicholson Griffin states that they had their spring opening yesterday. She mentions that Miss Taggart came back from the market. This letter was written to her future husband and my grandfather Frank Griffin. Necie Nicholson and Frank Griffin married in Brownwood December 25, 1906. submitted and owned by Gaye Fowler
