Alfretta
Ronemus
of
South
Vienna
,
Ohio
at the
age
of
three
. As an
infant
, she was
selected
as the

of the
first
baby
contest
in the
United
States
,
held
at the
second
annual
Clark
County
Fair
on
October
5
,
1854
. The
10-month-old
Alfretta
was
picked
out
of a
crowd
to
enter
the
contest
. Her
mother
protested
that
Alfretta
was not
dressed
in
suitable
clothes
for the
occasion
, but the
organizer
insisted
that she
enter
the
child
.
Alfretta
may
have
won
the
first
prize
