Below is a portrait of Elizabeth Florence “Lizzie” Shaw (1875-1950) and the inscription on it’s reverse. She married John Harman Ezra Coblentz (1878-1956) and their children were Dorothy Elizabeth Coblentz (1908-2005) and John Harman Coblentz (1912-1986).

They were both born in Maryland and were daughters of Charles Henry Shaw (1848-1917) and Mary Jane Mitchell (1848-1879).
