Perfect Duluth Day

Mystery Photo #82: Miss Edna May Boyle

Here she is, Edna May Boyle, 120 years ago. Who was she? Why did she get her photo shot on Christmas Day 1898? Well, if we knew that it wouldn’t be a mystery photo, would it?

Our only clues are:

1) The photo comes from the Zweifel Studio in Duluth. Mystery Photo #41 and also #81 are from that studio. John R. Zweifel was a Duluth-based photographer from the very late 1800s to the mid 1900s.

2) We are given Edna’s full name on the back and the photo is dated, although that doesn’t necessarily mean the photo was shot that day.
