I'm guessing that's May Esther Peterson Thompson (1880-1952), American opera singer. www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/TT/fth48.html www.cemetery.state.tx.us/pub/user_form.asp?pers_id=2314

I think that you're right, pennylrichardsca. Thanks for your great links. One of them includes a photograph in which she's wearing the same incredible costume as Delibes in the opera "Lakme." We'll add a note with this information next time we update the record. Good work!
