At the time I was working on The Fowlerville Chronicles, I kept coming back to this portrait -- what a beautiful woman.  Ultimately, I didn't put this in the book but always kept it to sometime add to this website.  Before seeing this article, I didn't know there was a dance school here in Fowlerville before Maria's School of Dance. 

This has me thinking this village is very lucky to have such dedication to the arts.  And on a side note, Fowlerville's early history, particularly in the early 1900s, it was reported, W.H. Peek is conducting a dancing school in the Bell opera house.
