Historical notes

When the South Family chair factory burned down in 1923, the chair business was reopened at the old chair factory in the Second Family under Lillian Barlow and William Perkins. Sarah Collins continued to seat chairs until the South Family was closed in 1934 and she was moved to the Second Family. Any orders addressed to Sarah Collins or dated prior to 1934 are located in the South Family Trustees Records.
