“Bank check signed in old ink in 1919 by Mildred McLean Dewey. A nice example of her signature. Mildred ‘Millie’ McLean (1845–1931), was married in 1871 to General William Babcock Hazen. Widowed, she remarried in 1899 to Admiral George Dewey.”—Todd Mueller Autographs

Mrs. Dewey was drawing a sizable amount of cash; $50 in 1919 would be the equivalent of $830.94 today.
