Reproduced from the Society’s newsletter, Kilmore Connections, Issue 70, December 2016.

Can anyone help identify this lady ? The photo is in the collection of the Kilmore Historical Society but we have no information on the sitter, who is wearing an ornately ornamented nineteenth century dress and a cameo on a chain.

The picture was most likely taken in the late nineteenth century, perhaps around 1880.

Perhaps her distinctive face might jog some memories.

If so, please email us at kilmorehistoricalsociety@gmail.com
