Thanks for disentangling the identification of the two sisters. We'll adjust the descriptions to make it more clear which was which.

a beautiful woman.

She is...lovely picture, too.

Apparently she was in movies, she is listed in IMBD but no info except date of death.

Picture taken September, 1912 in Philadelphia, PA. She was also photographed with Wyoming's just-elected governor, J.M. Casey and his wife and a relative of his. The large, riveted metal piece in the background is the battleship's prow.
