    "The William Jennings Bryan House, also known as Fairview, is a historic house museum on Sumner Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States. Built in 1902–1903, it is noteworthy as the home of politician William Jennings Bryan (1860–1925), and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1963. It is located on the Bryan Health hospital campus, and houses museum displays related to Bryan on the ground floor and the William Jennings Bryan Institute on the upper floors.
    The William Jennings Bryan House is located near the southeast corner of the Bryan Health campus, on the north side of Sumner Street opposite South 50th Street. The house is a brick building, 1+1⁄2 stories in height, with a combination of Classical Revival and Queen Anne Victorian styling. It has the varied rooflines typical of the latter style, including a two-story square turret at the right front corner, topped by a slightly bellcast pyramidal roof with flared edges. Window sizes and shapes are also varied, with a small Palladian window in one gable section, and a larger one on the second level of the tower."

    This looks like the presentation of a medal to a young golfer.

    Could be the wife of William Fellowes Morgan Sr, who was a sportswoman, including playing golf.

    swanq I think you are right about her identification. I found a newspaper article talking about the tournament and it say she is Mrs. W. Fellowes Morgan. Her name was Emma Leavitt Morgan. She lost the tournament. I think the young man may be her caddy handing her a pencil.

    Also, she was playing in the Women's Metropolitan Golf Association Championship at Essex Country Club in Orange, NJ.
