This is one of my favorite unidentified photos. Such a smart-looking woman. Who can she be?
The photo was among things that were passed down to me
from the Davis side of the family. Maybe the woman was a friend of my
great-grandmother Mary Frances Jollett Davis or maybe a sister-in-law. Or maybe
the photo belonged to Violetta, perhaps a photo of her mother-in-law.
The photo could have belonged to Velma if it was from her husband’s family.
Whoever she was, she posed well and made quite an impression.

She looks like a teacher.
ReplyDeleteShe does indeed. And we'd better be prepared!
DeleteMaybe Bobbie knows??
ReplyDeleteMaybe. The photographer was in DC and Baltimore, so I wonder if she is a sister-in-law to Mary Frances. I can't decide how old she was in this picture to even make a good guess.
DeleteIt's fun to see a Gibson Girl hairstyle on lady who looks like she's in her early 30s (maybe). It would be fun is someone found this photo and knew who she was!
ReplyDeleteAge is hard to determine. She looks 50s+ today but probably was in her 30s as you suggest.
DeleteMaybe she was a secret admirer of Velma’s husband. :-)
