Photograph from Lipp Studio, Philadelphia of a young woman in a fur hat. Inscription on the photo folder reads: "To dear Aunt Sophy. With Love from Ruby. 1922" The photograph is part of the Nadin-Bosworth Collection. Sophy may refer to Sophia B. Nadin, who married John Bosworth in September 1890. Sophia's sister, Harriet A. Nadin married George B. Lyon. Their son, Russell Albert Lyon's (1892-1977) first wife was Ruby Ethel Matthews (1896-1971).
