Coming up next week in TALES FROM THE FORT:
“Lofty Ideals”
As little girls in the Victorian Era, sisters Susanna and Florence Nebeker wanted to reflect the day's rigidly ostentatious attire. The early Payson settlers wished for a hoop skirt to wear, a fad of which their father Henry Nebeker did not approve. His daughters remained committed to the wider fashion ideal.
