Description

Ruth Petrie Dent Burch was standing next to a lawn bench. She had on a white shirtwaist dress of some lightweight material with a wide wing collar, short sleeves, and small colored buttons to the waist. The dress had a self belt with an oval buckle. There were small pocket flaps on each side just below the waist. The skirt had an inverted pleat in the center front. She had on white sensible shoes with a 1 1/2" heel. In her right hand she was holding a light-colored hat that may have had an open crown. She was a substantial woman. Below her image is the catchphrase for the exhibit, "Celebrating the Women of St. Mary's County's Past."
