2016.5.3Description
Photograph. 5 3/4 x 7 3/4 oval, b&w image, in oval gold-toned metal frame, 6 1/4 x 8 1/2 overall. Portrait of young woman in lace dress, rose in hair, cross necklace. The person who donated this photo labeled it "Louise Barksdale Parker," but there is no known Schmidt relative of this name. It is probably a photo of Louise Barksdale, who married Leopold Schmidt Jr., and was the mother of Louise and Mildred Schmidt. (Mildred Schmidt later married a man named Parker.) Style of hair and dress points to a portrait taken before the daughters were born.Name/Title
