Family of Mrs. Wm. Fuqua

FAMILY OF MRS. WM. FUQUA
South Boston, June 1911
"Ebb-tide in the industry. Family of Mrs. Wm. Fuqua. On account of slack work in the cotton mill, her husband recently got work up-town. He is the only wage earner. Six in the family. The oldest girl is 14 years old now. She worked last year, but the lint affected her so much they had to take her out." (Hine's caption)
