Antique Cabinet Card Portrait Photographs with Obituary — Mrs. Willie Marsh, c.1890s

A rare and intimate piece of Victorian-era ephemera: a matched set of two Cabinet Card portrait photographs accompanied by an original newspaper obituary clipping for Mrs. Willie Marsh (née Lydia Brown).

The photographs feature what appear to be two young girls, likely members of the Marsh family, captured in the formal studio portrait style of the 1890s — mounted on thick cardboard backing as was standard for the period. The obituary clipping details that Lydia Brown was born near Pawnee Station on June 13, 1894, married Willie Marsh on September 8, 1915, and passed away October 5, 1933, survived by seven children. Together, these pieces tell a deeply personal family story spanning generations.
