Overall Club - Sterling, IL

Does anyone know the story of the overall club in Sterling? I have a picture of several women outside wearing long dresses. One of the women is smiling and hiking her dress up a little ways. The one leg I can see looks like she may be wearing long pants. I would guess the picture dates back to the mid 1800s. On back of the picture there is writing. It reads; Mrs Mingle (my great grandmother), I wish I could step in with my overalls on. Did you know I started the first overall club in Sterling? Mrs. Deets *Denise I'm sending you the picture for the photo album. ---------- Barb Chandler Link to Family Tree and Photo Album; http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~barbc46/
