MARGARET PARKIN HADLEY JONES
Wife of Daniel Webster Jones, 19th Governor (1897-1901)

Mrs. Jones wore a three-piece inaugural dress made of a heavy black silk taffeta. The fitted bodice features a dickey, made of shirred Chantilly lace trimmed with beading and more lace, and a lowered waistline also trimmed in beading. More beading trims the cuffs of the leg-o-mutton sleeves. The fitted bodice and the floor-length-gored skirt give an hourglass silhouette.
