Notes:
Sarah H. Rosenzweig (1860-19??)2 was a bottler in Washington DC.
I've seen some instances where a bottling business seems to have been taken over by a wife (presumably due to the death of a husband), but this is a rare case where it appears that the business was owned by a woman from the start.

Bottles:
