The back of the card is blank.

 

Gram Fifield, and her husband, Edward, were foster parents for my Great-grandmother Rose Ella Andrews after her father died in the Civil War and her mother died soon after. My maternal grandparents saw I was interested in old photos and gave me Gram Fifield's album.

 

In the 1960s, when I got this album, my mother told me that the Serious Young Woman possibly had been named Ellen Wood.
