Mary Elizabeth (McDonald) Dawson

Mary Elizabeth (McDonald) Dawson wife of Robert Dawson, mother of Nathan Edmond
Dawson, Sevesta Mae Dawson (died as an infant), and Maud Martha Dawson.   This photo was taken in Barry, Illinois probably between 1892 and 1896.    My Cousin, Marjorie (Dawson) Thomas sent this photo to me shortly before Christmas 1997.   The envelope arrived sealed and when I opened it there were no names on the back nor was any description of the photo included.  I didn't spend much time identifying each of the subjects and getting off an e-mail to Marjorie that I had made the identification.  The surviving children were posed in the original photograph, but have been cropped out of this view.   Great, Grandmother of Douglas D. Dawson.
