The wedding dress of Emma Chloe Gardner Abbott. Emma made the dress herself, with the help of her mother, in 1908, and was married to David Arthur Abbott a year later, on September 16, 1909. David was the son of Myron and Lovisa Leavitt Abbott, who were some of the original founders of Bunkerville. Emma and David lived in nearby Mesquite, where Emma worked as a teacher. Emma and David both passed away in 1963, only three months apart from each other.
