Brown was the photographer at No. 19 West Main Street Marshalltown, Ia.
A rather severe looking woman, with a lace collar and a brooch, her gown has trims and buttons. She probably has a hair rat in the front of her hair. Hair rats were usually made of collected hair and then rolled into a shape and then your own hair was rolled and pinned around it. Hair rats made your hair have more volume.

I wonder what the N stands for? Nellie, Nettie or Nora?
Thanks for stopping by. Do come again.
Update from Iggy:
Nettie E. Springer (1857 -1931) daughter of A.J.and Cynthia (Weed) Springer married Jesse B. Meyers on December 24, 1873. They had two daughters Ada I Meyers and Bessie A Meyers. Bessie A. married Rev. Thomas Hauser.
I definitely do not need a hair rat. My hair is BIG enough!

I was surprised to see someone had written in the woman's age. I thought that was a top secret subject back then :)
