      First Photograph: Nancy sitting in a rocker on the front porch at Alexander (Alexander's Inn). She appears to be sewing; a spinning wheel is beside her and a piece of needlework sits on an elaborate easel type frame. Her foot rests on a fabric pillow on the floor, on top of a bear-skin rug. Compare image to MS222_002A PHOTO D of her father, probably taken the same day.

      Second Photograph: Nancy as a young woman. Probably teens or early twenties, she wears a full length polka dot dress gathered at the waist with a belt, loose sleeves, button down top with white collar. She holds what appears to be a circular fan. Photographer not known.

      Third Photograph: Studio portrait, 8 x10 with dark background of Nancy later in life, probably in her 70s. She has rimless glasses on and wears a tailored dark dress with white neck shirt and a pendant at center. Photographer not known, circa 1920 or earlier.
