  • Notes 
    • The identity of this photo was obtained from a public Ancestry.com family tree. A duplicate of this photo is also held by Lauren Rogers Mahieu, in the photo album originally compiled by Cynthia's cousin, Lavina (Bursley) Stanwood. Taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it seems unlikely that this is actually Cynthia, who remained in Maine until her early death at age 29.
