This is a photo of Josephine GARIS COCHRAN. She is my great aunt (I guess I really should check that since I don't have her in my online family tree! She might be a great great aunt!!) Josephine was the first person to invent a practical dish washing machine. You can read about it
here. Her design was patented on December 28, 1886. I think we owe her a great debt of gratitude!
I bow to your aunt (or great-aunt, as the case may be)! We do indeed owe her a lot! How wonderful to have that tidbit in your family tree!
ReplyDeleteAlice, that is on great piece of family history! WAYYYYY COOL! and, I thank her!
