Edward Everett McCall (1863-1924) New York Supreme Court justice, and his wife, the former Ella F. Gaynor. In 1913, Edward Everett McCall was appointed by the governor to the Public Service Commission. in 1914 1913 also, Edward Everett McCall was running for mayor of New York City, with Tammany Hall backing. The daughters are Constance (standing) and Ella--Ella married William Maloney in 1915.

Fixed, thanks. I must have been conflating his name with that of writer Edward Everett Hale--totally different guys, obviously!

What is that on the right side of Constance's face?

If you look at the photo of Constance and the dogs, next to this, you can see that her hat has a veil; I assume it's probably the veil.

It is likely that McCall was named for the famous 19th-century orator Edward Everett (the windbag who shared the platform with Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Gettysburg Cemetery). That truly was an unflattering design on the veil that the young lady wore: it resembles a bad skin disease, or an attack of giant flying insects . . . .

Daughter of New York Supreme Court justice Edward Everett McCall (1863-1924) and his wife, the former Ella F. Gaynor. In 1913, Edward Everett McCall was appointed by the governor to the Public Service Commission. in 1914, Edward Everett McCall was running for mayor of New York City, with Tammany Hall backing. In 1915 Constance was a maid of honor at her sister Ella's wedding to William R. Maloney. In 1924, she's still listed as Miss Constance McCall in obituaries following her father's passing.

I almost missed the 2 dogs looking at her and her hat!
