    Mrs. Lorimer's NYT Obit provides a clue to this image. She was chairman of the States Committee for the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition in 1926, the date on the photo. The governors of 30 states called on her there to present their state flags. In the photo, the governor of Maine and his wife have the Maine state flag. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A0DE0D81F39EE3BB...
