Thanks swanq, we'll add her name to the catalog record.

Son of George Jay Gould I; grandson of the 19th-century Wall Street robber baron (and Titan of the Great Northern Railroad), Jay Gould. See Harry Angstrom's note, below, and the Wikipedia entry it references.

Oops! Sorry for the mix up. This is one of five captions and images that got out of alignment back when the negatives were first scanned. Now fixed!

Might be Frank's nephew, Jay2: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gould_II

Harry Angstrom: It does look like this is Jay Gould II. We will update the record with this more full name. Thanks for the heads up!
