For many years, I wondered who the lovely young lady in this photograph was.
I had long wondered if this might be a photograph of Amanda H Davis: born in Fayette County, Alabama, in 1861; married to Augustus Newell Edmonds in 1892; mother of Lester Loyd and Blanche Belle Edmonds; died in 1902.
I even posted a question on genealogy.stackexchange.com for help in dating the photo, which I thought would help me identify her.
Eventually, I found an identical photograph on ancestry.com. This copy of the photograph had the name written on it: Della May Poe.
Della May Poe Wright was a first cousin of Amanda H Davis Edmonds. Della was born in Arkansas in 1880, married Arthur Stanton wright in 1907, and died in 1951 in Oklahoma.
