Untangling the Tale of the Seven Sutherland Sisters and Their 37 Feet of Hair

[wollemii]

“The Seven Sutherland Sisters, a group of singing ladies from Lockport/Niagara, N.Y., were famous for their long hair, which they showed off in a sideshow of Barnum & Bailey’s from about 1882 to 1907. On such group photos the sisters were always placed in such a way that it seemed all of the sisters had hair reaching the floor.” [x]

“Miss Grace Sutherland from about 1890.” [x]

“The children of Fletcher and Mary Sutherland included:

Sarah (1845-1919)

Victoria (1849-1902)

Isabella (1852-1914)

Grace (1854-1946)

Naomi (1858-1893)

Dora (1860-1919)

Mary (1862-1939)”
