The photograph was taken at Ely Studio No. 2., Elm Street, Oshkosh, WI. Handwritten on the back it says "Elizabeth Bell MacKnoh 1855-1943). Everything except the latter part of the surname is very legible. That is not so legible. Even a search of Scottish surnames didn't come up with anything that matched what we can read. It's most likely four, but maybe five, characters (after "Mac"). The first is most likely a B or a K. The next characters really look like "noh" and the "h" seems to match the "h" on Elizabeth. While the handwriting becomes less than legible, it does not look like someone was in a great hurry and just omitted the latter part of the name. I have no known relation to this person but I did look around the census and found Adam Bell, an architect in Oshkosh, with a daughter born in New York before he moved to the state in 1856. Her birth year would seem to be 1855. But since this inscription had to be written after her death - when she was over 90, I wouldn't be surprised if someone were a year off. :) Adam was also Scottish which lines up nicely with her Scottish married name. But, this is all speculation on my part. :) This photo was purchased at an antique mall on Warm Springs Avenue in Boise, Idaho. Anyone know more? Any modern relations wish a copy?
