His wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Leonard_Wood His wife, Louise Adriana Wood (1869-1943), was also quite active politically. Here's their tombstone at Arlington: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=904345... They had two children, Osborn Cutler Wood (1897-1950), and Louise Barbara Wood (1900-1960).

They appear on a page of photos of the 1915 Governors Island Garden Party in the New-York tribune., June 06, 1915, [Page 3, Image 49] chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1915-06-06/ed-... Mrs. Wood is in same outfit, so this is presumably another in the batch from this event.

Similar picture in NYT pictorial section of June 6, 1915, page 8 memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/np_item.pl?collection=sgproto&... or memory.loc.gov/service/sgp/sgpnyt/1915/191506/19150606/00...

swanq: Thanks. We will include some of your information in our next update.

The caption, somewhat legible, on several of these photos (just barely on this one), says "3/4/13", corresponding to the first inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, March 4, 1913, as noted, for instance, in this source and also the date is noted by the Library of Congress. Edit: Gen. Leonard Wood, Army Chief of Staff 1910-1914.

Cotinis: Thank you for the information. Looks like the photo does relate to the first Wilson inauguration. We will update the source data and reload the description.

Leonard Wood (October 9, 1860 – August 7, 1927) was the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, Military Governor of Cuba, and Governor General of the Philippines. Early in his military career, he received the Medal of Honor. Wood also holds officer service #2 in the Regular Army (John Pershing holds officer service #1). He became a prominent Republican Party leader and a candidate for the 1920 presidential nomination. He served as civilian Governor General in the Philippines in the 1920s, where he fought with local leaders. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Wood
