Mary B. Billie has been a dollmaker since she was 17. She learned the
skill by watching her mother, who had learned it from Mary's grandmother.
Accompanying note: "'She makes the head first and then puts the body
together. She'll make the heads like maybe she's going to make a hundred.
Sometimes she makes fifty and then she cuts up the body the same amount
and then she starts working on it.'"
