Notes

Based on basic research, I believe the woman in the photograph is Florence Mary Burnham (nee Manson), born May 15, 1877. Florence was Harold's mother. There is a photo of Florence at Dorothy and Harold's wedding in 1944 (2021.12.289h). The women in the two photographs have similar eye, and mouth shapes, that suggest they are the same person. More extensive research would need to be done to confirm this information.
