Dorothy Hancock's legacy
Dorothy and William Hancock started the first fabric store to carry the "Hancock" name in 1952 in Batesville, Mississippi. This newspaper article from 1989 interviews Mrs. Dorothy Hancock (mother of our store's founder, Rowland Hancock and grandmother to Justin and Blann who operate the store now).
