NotesSubject Note: According to a note, the subject could be either Caroline Lyman Collins, Henrietta Atwood Collins, Edith Electa Allen, or Lucy Mather Brace. She seems to be the same child that appears in 2011.63.187, 2011.63.188, and 2011.63.189. She somewhat resembles the four Allen daughters and could be a member of that family.
