    Daughter of the Speaker of the House (doesn't say if that's Federal or State). Was engaged to James M Thomson of New Orleans in June 1915. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9404EFDA1539E333A...

    Everything looks so shiny and high-tech. Ms. Clark looks as satisfied as anyone being photographed with a new Blackberry, iPhone, or Android a century later.

    She was the daughter of Champ Clark,(1850 – 1921), Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1911 to 1919, and an unsuccessful candidate for nomination to be the Democratic Partly candidate in the Presidential Election of 1912. Clark story shared at banquet -- Article from the Bowling Green Times about Genevieve Clark Thomson's story, as recounted by her nephew. The great tragedy of her life was the loss of her three year old son, Little Champ. When his birthday came around, she remembered him by delivering ice cream to children in the hospital. She was also a Suffragette, she ran for Congress, wrote a political column, and was known for her fashion sense, inspiring a hairstyle known as "the Genevieve Curl."

    Some Bain trivia: The negative number etched here is 2680-3. You will notice that Miss Clark is sitting at the same desk, using the same telephone as that which sits on the desk of Alben Barkley, adjacent in this photostream, and which also has the consecutive negative number 2680-2: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3294674193/
