Linda sent this picture thinking it might be Levi "Franklin and his first wife, Anna Frankenfield, They would have been married in the 1850s.
After investingating clothing and background styles it was determined this picture was taken between 1895 and 1900. By comparing the young woman to the females in the Franklin Sloyer Family picture, we have tentatively identified it as Lillie.
Lillie was married in Fremont, Ohio; she was Franklin's youngest daughter. John Mark, her eldest brother, was living in Kansas. It is our working theory that Lilly sent him her wedding picture.
