Too late! I just wanted to ask: "Who is this lady?":

...but Roger was much faster (see post #153)!
I "came across her" when reading in a book that during the Lincoln-Douglas debates Douglas "was accompanied by his beautiful wife". I was curious as for the beauty of this lady, and found this nice site:

PS: IMO Mary wasn't any less beautiful:

That's one Mrs. Herndon, I'm quite sure the first, Mary, who was considered as one of the beauties of her time, and I believe a relative sketched that.

Superb, Eva! That is a sketch of the second Mrs. Herndon - Anna Miles Herndon. I have never seen an image of the first wife - Mary Maxcy Herndon. And apparently the only image of the second wife is this sketch. Source of sketch - the page opposite p. 258 in Donald's book on Herndon.

Eva, you win a 30 minute séance with a medium (Nettie Colburn) who will conjure up the spirit of William Herndon. Through the medium you will be able to question Herndon on any topics of your choice for a full half hour.

Eva,

Please question Billy Herndon for only 29 minutes. Use the remaining one minute to punch him in the nose for me and Mrs. Lincoln!

With kind regards...

I'll give this lady a try - who is she?

I think I have seen that photo before somewhere and think it might be Lucy Hale when she was older.

Excellent, Roger! Although I was not successful in submitting last Saturday's prize in time, I'll try again - you win my best wishes for your favorite's victory this "sports" weekend.


RE: Who is this lady? - RJNorton - 11-01-2014 06:53 AM

Thank you, Eva. The Chicago Bears have a bye this weekend, so at least I do not have to suffer through another embarrassing defeat.

Vinnie Ream?


RE: Who is this lady? - PaigeBooth - 01-09-2015 11:34 AM

Hi, Eva, this woman looks Mary Lincoln's half sister, Emily Todd Helm.?


RE: Who is this lady? - Gene C - 01-09-2015 11:45 AM

I agree with Paige


RE: Who is this lady? - Eva Elisabeth - 01-09-2015 01:26 PM

An outstanding guess, Roger, but kudos to Paige and Gene - the lady is Emily T.Helm:
