| Notes | The original label on the negative envelope was difficult to read. It was thought to say either "Austin/Rustin/Rusten, Mary". The name etched on the negative itself was thought to read "Angnuss Austin" which may had been "Agnes Austin". The 1900 census listed a 16-year-old Mary A. Austin attending Immaculate Conception Academy in Davenport. Both she and her parents were listed as born in Illinois. No other definitive information was located. |
