Mrs. Samuel R. Burgess, chess champion! Eveline Burgess won the US women's chess title in 1907, when she won it from Mrs. Clarence Frey. She held the title for 30 years. She was from St. Louis, and was taught chess by her father when she was a young teen; apparently Mr. Samuel Burgess (1851-1916) was also a chess player of some note. They had five children; only the oldest son took up chess. (That oldest son, Samuel A. Burgess, was a lawyer by training, and president of a small college in Iowa.) blog.chess.com/view/a-woman-champ Her grandson Walter R. Evans (1920-1999), an engineer, remembered learning to play chess from her: www.bpb-co.com/articles/04proceded.php en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_R._Evans
Anne (LOC P&P) said:
pennylrichardsca: Thank you for the additional information about Burgess. We'll include some of it next time we update the description.
Richard Norton said:
I wrote a short biography of her for Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eveline_Burgess Eveline Allen Burgess (September 19, 1856 - July 10, 1936) of Lamoni, Iowa was the women's American chess champion from 1907 to 1920. Biography: She was born as Eveline Allen on September 19, 1856 in Ogden, Utah to James T. Allen, and Elizabeth Pidd. She married Samuel Rostron Burgess (1851–1918) on July 4, 1876. She won her chess title in a match with Mrs. Clarence Frey in 1907. She taught her grandson, Walter Richard Evans, to play chess. She died on July 10, 1936 in Independence, Missouri.

Be careful (the man on the left made this board and chessmen himself)

These two chaps look German with the flat cap feldmutze and boots. Perhaps they were prioners of war
