Mary (Ader) Clawson (c. 1865?)

<<Previous	Index			Next >>

Mary Clawson (maiden name Ader) was William Clawson's wife. My very speculative guess is that this photo dates to roughly 1865, which presumably coincides with the time that William Clawson was serving in the Civil War. Is this why we have no corresponding portrait of William himself? (Note that we do have a portrait of William much later in his life, wearing his old Civil War uniform.) Assuming Mary was the same age as William, she would be 24 in this portrait. If she was a few years younger, she would still be in her early 20s. Does this make sense given her appearance?
