Although she is now 102 years old Mrs. Sibby Overman of Liberty, N.C., has never bought a ready-made dress or the material to make one. Just imagine—not once in 102 years! It must be the “record.” She has made all her clothes from homespun materials and colored them with dyes made by herself from red oak bark, cedar tops, walnut hulls, etc.
