How easy money ruined the seven Sutherland sisters who were once called the seven wonders of America

There were seven of them Sarah, Victoria, Isabella, Grace, Naomi, Mary and Dora. Together with
an only brother, they were born into a poor farmer's family near New York City between
between 1851 and 1865. Their mother was well aware that she could marry off her daughters without a devoted one if they were well brought up and
and educated. So all the girls were not only literate but also beautifully sung and played musical instruments, and their chief treasure
was their hair. The total length of which exceeded 11 meters. The eldest sister,
Sarah's hair was the shortest at only 90 centimeters, and Victoria's was almost two meters long.

Isabella. The slight one. I think I only know two of their birthdays. Sarah was August 3rd, I think and Dora may have been June 22nd. No idea about the rest. Brandon Stickney's book only has years.
