Description
Tintype photograph believed to be Henrietta (Fordyce) Rice [1846-1920] - wife of Joshua Rice, daughter of Homer Corbly Fordyce and Jane Baily.
Handwritten inscription indicates this photograph is either of or was addressed to Eliza (Fordyce) Smith - wife of John Smith, daughter of Homer Corbly Fordyce and Jane Baily. Photos of Henrietta certainly appear to match her to the pictured woman; however, sisters may bear a strong resemblance. We need to locate a photo of Eliza for comparison to make an absolute determination.
Original, no photographer listed.
