Mrs. M. M. Goddard

                                                                 Winfield.
Winfield 1878: Mrs. M. M. Goddard, 35.
                                               FROM THE NEWSPAPERS.
Winfield Courier, July 6, 1876.
COWLEY COUNTY’S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
THE SISTERHOOD OF STATES, agreeable to a suggestion of ours made a few weeks ago, was represented by about fifty ladies on horse-back. This, without doubt, was the most interesting and attractive part of the procession. The ladies, be it said to their credit, without a single exception, rode well, although several of them had not been in a saddle more than once or twice for years. They managed their steeds with an easy grace, entirely surprising to that male portion of the lookers on, who, so vainly imagine that they alone can sit and guide a horse correctly.
The States and Territories appeared in the order of their admission into the Union.
Illinois, Mrs. Goddard.
Another beautiful banner was the one carried by Mrs. Goddard, for Illinois, which bore the words, “The home of our martyred President.”
Winfield Courier, March 22, 1877.
Mrs. Goddard  has removed her dressmaking establishment to the room one door north of C. A. Bliss & Co.’s store.
Winfield Courier, June 21, 1877.
Mrs. Goddard has removed her millinery store three doors south, in Dr. Houx’s old stand.
Dr. Houx’ old location was one door south of Bliss & Co.
In 1877 Bliss & Co. were located on the northwest corner of Main Street and 10th Avenue.
Winfield Courier, June 21, 1877.
MILLINERY, FANCY GOODS AND DRESS MAKING,
BY MRS. M. M. GODDARD.
The latest Styles of all Ladies’ Fancy Goods kept constantly on hand. Work done promptly and to suit the taste of Patrons.
Call and see the Spring Styles—one door North of C. A. Bliss & Co.’s store.
Note: Above ad must have been a repeat of an old one inasmuch as Mrs. Goddard moved to a location one door south of Bliss & Co.
Winfield Courier, September 20, 1877.
Miss Josephine E. Mansfield has bought out Mrs. M. M. Goddard and intends to open a first class millinery establishment.
