Keep in mind: Confirmed as the library's catalogued photograph and its verso inscription. Likely, not confirmed, that Ella is pictured: the library's catalog says she is 'probably' the standing woman in the plaid blouse; no one else is identified. The date 'about 1898' is the catalog's date for the circle's founding.
