This wool lace was made by Alice E Cleland (1864-1938) in Middletown, Dauphin Co., PA, USA in the 1890s and was used as an edging on a petticoat (a long skirt) worn by her daughters Lottie E Cleland (1892-1905) and Louella Cleland Weirich (1895-1983). There are still traces of the thread (a buff color) which attached the lace to the petticoat.
