Sarah Boone
Sarah Boone (1832-1904) was an African American inventor who on April 26, 1892, obtained United States patent rights for her improvements to the ironing board. Boone's ironing board was designed to improve the quality of ironing sleeves and the bodies of women's garments. The board was very narrow, curved, and made of wood. The shape and structure allowed it to fit a sleeve and it was reversible, so one could iron both sides of the sleeve.〔(Patent US473653 - IRONING-BOARD - Google Patents )〕
Boone was born Sarah Marshall in Craven County, North Carolina near the town of New Bern in February 1832. On November 25, 1847, in New Bern, she married a freedman named James Boone (or Boon);〔findagrave.com〕 they would have eight children.〔1900 Federal Census〕
The Boone family left North Carolina for New Haven, Connecticut before the outbreak of the American Civil War; they settled into a house at 30 Winter Street.〔1880 Federal Census for New Haven County (Connecticut) Enumeration District 91, Sheet 46, Lines 46-50 and Sheet 47, Line 1〕 James Boone worked as a brick mason〔1870 Federal census for the First Ward of the City of New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut, 88〕 until his death in 1874 〔findagrave.com〕 while his wife was listed in New Haven directories as a dressmaker.〔''New Haven City Directory for 1885...'' (New Haven: Price & Lee, 1885), 460〕
