Historical NotesPair of pumps belonging to donor Jean Woods' mother, Louise Irwin Woods. Louise Irwin Woods (1914-1999) grew up in the Ligonier area and was a graduate of Juniata College. She taught school until her marriage in 1934, to Carson B. Woods. Upon her husband's death in 1953, Louise began teaching elementary school again and also earned her Master's degree in archival studies from Duquesne University. She appreciated well-made clothing and had things ordered from New York, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh area tailors.
