Who We Are: Emily

The Mourning Society wouldn’t be anything if it weren’t for an amazing group of volunteers that make our events so special. We’ll be shining a spotlight on our members throughout the fall season.

Interested in becoming a member. Find out more here.

💀 How long have you been a member of the Mourning Society of St Louis and how did you get started? One of the other members, Deborah, told me about this group when I mentioned I missed sewing mid-19th century fashions. 

💀 What role do you play in the group? Right now, I volunteer where I’m needed. 

💀 What is your favorite Mourning Society event? Twilight Tours at the Campbell House!

💀 What is your favorite topic that we cover at events? I find women’s mourning fashion very interesting, but I also love the local history I’ve learned while listening to other members tell stories.
