During Ohio's yesteryears the
forests were so swampy that
women could scarcely walk to
church or to other gatherings in
their pretty footwear. So instead
they wore the rough heavy shoes
used by the menfolk. Close to their
destination they would deposit the
rough shoes in a fence corner or
some other nearby place and put
on their dainty shoes to wear in
side. Thus their Sunday footwear
lasted years and years.
