JENNY SMITH

JENNY SMITH, died April the 14th, 1891.  That is the hand-written note in pencil on the back of this photo.

The front is labeled "Taylor's Great Western" and the back is stamped "C.L. Taylor Artist, Photographer"

UPDATE - I found another photo online with the same studio marks front and back. The woman who was the subject of that photo was known to live in Selma, Iowa. So perhaps the photographer worked that region of the country.

UPDATE - Using the death date and presumed location of Iowa, it was possible to determine the identity of "Jenny Smith" as Jennie (Kaley) Smith, born 1864, and lived in Iowa. There is a great obit/bio for her at Findagrave.
