Some History of Charlotte "Lottie" Elizabeth Neal (Uglow): A typed document that describes a sewing bag belonging to Charlotte "Lottie" Elizabeth Neal (Uglow), who was the third wife of John Uglow, a Newcastle tailor. The text narrates that Lottie was born in Perrytown in 1849 and, after schooling, learned dressmaking. She moved to Newcastle and started a dressmaking parlor in Bondhead, in a house known as Tintern, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Austin Campbell. Bondhead was then an important and industrious village with busy lake port activities, a church, school, hotel, stores, and various businesses. During that era, women wore dresses requiring yards of fabric, and ready-to-wear clothing was unheard of, making Lottie's dressmaking business thrive with many customers.
