In 1890 when Annie Barthel was courting by mail with John Barry, my great grandfathr, Anne was keeping books for the Dernette and Ohlmann Steam Laundry and Carpet Beating Works. Annie's best friend was the Dernette's daughter.

 These old illustrations show  the interior of a laundry from that day.
