This photo of Julia Moody Pierce isn't dated, but the hairstyle suggests that it may have been taken in the mid-1920s.
Even farm wives in little ol' Wilmer, Alabama, kept up with current women's fashions. This no doubt was the result of reading magazines and newspapers and of watching movies. So from just a hairstyle we can infer a great deal about the lives of the Pierce family.
But the hairstyle does raise questions such as: Did Julia go to a beauty parlor to get her hair done? Did she do it herself at home? Or perhaps, did a neighbor woman fix her hair?
