Label TextThis doll was one of many that were well loved throughout generations. Anna Tull (1844-1928), her daughter Lily Kellogg (1878-1962), and finally her granddaughter, Ann Wurtele (1910-?), played with and loved these elegant ladies. It was Anna who made most of the clothes, always completing them with tiny buttons and appropriate trimmings, so that each item is a miniature reproduction of a real little girl’s outfit. This doll has a wig made from Ann's childhood hair.
