Found him! familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/a/w/Ken-Dawson-Char... William Crossingham (1879-1954), born in Brooklyn NY, married Emma Roberta Cusick in 1901, in Washington DC; worked as a foreman-painter in the paint shop at the Smithsonian. Father of three daughters (b. 1903, 1907, and 1918; all now passed away). He's mentioned in the 1945 report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian, on the occasion of his retirement: "On the staff of maintenance and operation, William Crossingham, mechanic (foreman of paint shop), retired on September 30, 1944, and on October 9, 1944, Axel J. Anderson succeeded him in charge of the paint shop." www.archive.org/stream/annualreportofbo1945smit/annualrep...

See S. H. Gage, "Agnes Claypole's Method of Fixing Paraffin Sections to the Slide," The Observer 6(1895): 64. books.google.com/books?id=_nIgAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA64-IA12 Agnes earned her PhD in 1896 at University of Chicago, taught zoology at Wellesley (1896-98), then assistant in histology and embryology at Cornell (1898-1900). Eventually she landed in California, where she taught at CalTech (1900-1903), and Mills College (1918-1923). She worked closely with her father, Edward Waller Claypole, a paleontologist; in 1903 she married an anatomy instructor, Robert Orton Moody. Interesting profile about her stepmother (who raised the Claypole twins; their mother died soon after their birth): www3.uakron.edu/schlcomm/womenshistory/claypole_k.htm Maybe someone at Akron has photos of the twins to confirm or refute this woman's identity?

Her Passport Application dated 1/20/1919 includes a photograph, but unfortunately the quality of the scan on ancestry.com. Perhaps someone in DC can look up the original or a microfiche version. Passport Application date 1/20/1919 Passport issue date 26/1919 Here is the Source Citation: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA); Washington D.C.; Passport Applications, January 2, 1906 - March 31, 1925; Collection Number: ARC Identifier 583830 / MLR Number A1 534; NARA Series: M1490; Roll #: 695; ; .

I've written a bit about the Claypole sisters (and their father) at Caltech (when it still was the Throop Institute) at biology.caltech.edu/about/history/Prehistory.html As part of my research on this I found a descendant, Kate Moody, who sent a photocopy of a photograph of the Claypole sisters in 1898 - and Agnes in that photo looks very much like a younger version of the person in this one. I'm happy to send the scan to anyone interested, though permission to publish and all would probably have to come from Kate Moody or her brother.
