NOTES

There are 2 Louisa Stovers found in Johnson County, Iowa during the time frame that this photograph would have been taken.
One born in 1841 and the one listed here born in 1834. Photograph state she was 58 years old in photograph which would have
placed her in the year 1892 in the photograph. The style of the photograph is late 1880s to early 1890s. The other Louisa Stover
who was born in 1841 would have been 58 in the year 1899 which I believe is to late for the style of the photograph. Also, ages were
not always accurately kept back then and could be off by 1 or 2 years. If this photograph was taken in 1894 the year her husband
died, it could be the reason she is wearing black. Photographs were sometimes taken during special events, good or bad.
