Kent, Mrs. Orvin

Who and what is on it

This name is the volume's own, from the list of portraits on its contents page, and not read off the picture.

What the leaf reads

Mrs. Kent, with her own forename in script, EDEN TP.

The book lists this portrait under her husband's name. The leaf is signed with her own forename, and its first letter reads as a D or a G in that hand. The county history's Eden Township sketch gives her as Drizella Tweedy, married to Orvin Kent in December of 1840.

Counties of LaGrange and Noble, Indiana: Historical and Biographical,F. A. Battey and Co., Chicago, 1882, leaf 207. Public domain. Served at 2200 by 3511.
