Mrs. R.H. Davis & sister (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    Seems like Mrs. R. H. Davis is Mrs. Richard Harding Davis. Harding's second wife was Bessie McCoy (c1886-1931), a Vaudeville performer--they wed in 1899, he died 1916. Harding was a journalist associated with the Hearst papers, but he also wrote a lot of stories that were adapted for Broadway shows. www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=68280 www.nndb.com/people/398/000048254/ Bessie's sister in show business was called Nellie McCoy. www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=52211
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks pennylrichardsca for the additional information. I spoke to someone who knows vaudeville performers and he confirmed that this is Bessie McCoy on the left and Nellie McCoy on the right.

    "Ellen Fletcher is the daughter of Duncan Upshaw Fletcher.1 She married Sir Lionel Eldred Pottinger Smith-Gordon, 4th Bt., son of Sir Lionel Eldred Pottinger Smith-Gordon, 3rd Bt. and Sophia Annie Scott, on 1 December 1913.1 She and Sir Lionel Eldred Pottinger Smith-Gordon, 4th Bt. were divorced in 1933.1
    From 1 December 1913, her married name became Smith-Gordon.1"
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Her father, Duncan Fletcher, was a US Senator, and in August 1921 he sent Kathleen O'Brennan two photos of his daughter, "Nellie". The letter has lots of useful information and is worth a look - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000586819 .

    I wonder if the 1928 date on the back of this photo is not the actual date the photo was taken, and this is one of the photos sent with the letter ? Someone will know !
