This is Julia Bennett Johnson (born 16 May 1848 in Victor, New York) daughter of Rev James Riley Johnson and Nancy Bennett Hetherington.
Oct 15, 1867 she married Charles Henry Dillaby (1833-1889) in Norwich CT. Charles was assistant postmaster in Norwich, also tax collector. After his death, Julia lived in Somerville Mass, presumably with one of her sons.
Their children are:
1873 - Julian Riley Dillaby (d.1917), city editor for the Norwich Bulletin, then city and political writer on Boston newspapers, m. Alice Bowen, a trained nurse.
1875 - Frank Henry Dillaby, architect in Boston, m. Martha Day in 1905 (dau of Marcellus and Mary J Day), they had son Edwin Frank Dillaby (1907-1997).
1878 - Charles Paine Dillaby, architectural draftsman residing in Somerville Mass.
She died at age 100 in 1948 in Massachusetts.
I found this other image of her with her younger half-sister Alice, online at Findagrave, and do not possess this one, but wanted to show it here for comparison. (Click any image for larger version)
