This wonderful photo of a young woman was found in the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark. Under the photo, written by Marguerite's mother, was "maybe Aunt Josie Cook ?"
The earrings, the plaid dress, the trim on the skirt, the sleeve shape, and the neckline all indicate that the photo was taken in the 1860s. Josie was born in 1856. She would have been a little young if this photo was taken in the 1860s. I compared this photo to a known photo of Josie on the Related Faces website, and they did not show a match.
This could be Josie but also one of so many Bryan, Martin, or Cook family women in Bienville Parish. Do you have this photo?
