This photo was submitted to the Marion Living Magazine by Geneva Stahlhut and was dated 1939. Since the photo was taken in front of the F.W. Woolworth store on the square and includes the store manager of the time, Virgil A. Jones, I can presume that all of these ladies are Woolworth employees posing for a group photo during the Williamson County Centennial celebration in 1939. Especially, since they are all in period costume, which was common for store employees and normal citizens during the celebration held August 26, 1939 through September 1, 1939.

According to Geneva’s notes, those in the photo are from left to right Amy Black, Marguerite Bernard Randolph, Maxine Brown, Carmen Edwards Moake Corder, Doris Grassenger, unidentified person, Muriel Benton, Betty Norman Spitzner, Ida Mae Simmons, Mabel Albright, Ruby Norman, Inez Horsely, Esther Fisher, Lenna Schooby and V.A. Jones, store manager.
