The Cabinet Portrait photo was taken in Des Moines, IA in about 1890-1895, and shows Jennie in a white dress, with flowers, possibly her wedding photo. 1880 census and Ancestry Family Tree data tell me that Jennie Kate Layman was dau of Estes H. and Margaret E. Layman, living in Valley (Polk Co.) IA - and that her date of birth was 3 Apr 1874 - and that she married Harry Frederick Gross. She died 25 Aug 1952, and had a son Harry L.Gross and daughter Mildred, who married a (-) Thelen.
