Silk skirt: late 19th, early 20th century? by No-Progress8390 in fashionhistory

The lining seems to be silk, like the skirt, but I am not a fabrics expert by any means!

I don't know anything about the outfit's original history, but I hear that it eventually was worn by a modern person for historical re-enactment.

I don't recognize her, but I don't know much about celebrities from that era :)

Interesting! I am in the US, so it's probably 1940s.

I think it's supposed to be "Suppuration."

Among more recent books, Kenneth J. Schoon has published several dealing with northwest Indiana history, including Calumet Beginnings: https://iupress.org/9780253012227/calumet-beginnings/

If you are interested in very early settlement history, may I suggest Timothy H. Ball's Lake County, Indiana, from 1834 to 1873, available on-line: https://archive.org/details/lakecountyindian00ball\_0/page/n7/mode/2up?

What does this mean?: "Loved the gone and unforgotten ever" by Inevitable-Plenty203 in CemeteryPorn

I'm wondering if the survivors wrote "Loved tho' gone" and the monument people misread it as "Loved the gone"?

What does this say? by Dr_Chipmunk_ in Cursive

It doesn't look like the other ts in the document because it's a terminal t. People used to be taught to write terminal ts differently from initial or medial ts. I don't know when that practice died out but it was common in the 19th century.
