This is a picture of Beveridge dated no later than 1901 when he was a senator from Indiana.
His jaw appears to me to be much more square than the man in the second picture, and his eyes seem different as well.
Catherine talks about her dresses in the book, but she really didn't seem to remember that much about them. I definitely don't remember ostrich feathers, but she very well might have left that out.

I agree that Mr. Beveridge does not resemble the man in the other photo. However, he could certainly pass for Christopher Reeves, one-time Superman and later advocate for the disabled.
