Description: Headpiece with a black oval-shaped net, machine-made lace, and ribbon trim, which goes with the dress, HD 89.082, and shawl, HD 89.080. All three pieces were a gift of Parker Dole Hubbard (1919-1994), son of George Caleb Hubbard (b.1878) and Florence Graves Hubbard, grandson of Parker Dole Hubbard (1825-1895) and Elizabeth Newton Hubbard (1842-1915), great-grandson of Ashley Hubbard and Betsey Dole Hubbard (1794-1862), and great-great grandson of Caleb Hubbard (1754-1850) and Lucretia Ashley Hubbard (1767-1853) of the Plumtrees section of Sunderland, Mass.

CONN./ B & R Dress Co./ MANUFACTURERS OF COATS AND DRESSES/ WEST BROOKFIELD, MASS./ Branch - 18 Center Street., Northampton, Mass."
