The woman in the photograph is most Ruby Ethel Matthews (see 2025.062.021) 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). This would have made Sophia A. Nadin Ruby's aunt by marriage.

By 1915, he operated at least 7 studios in New York and one in Connecticut.
