See New York Times, August 12, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9907E7DC1730E233A... "Weightman Quietly Takes a Bride Here. Great-grandson of Manufacturer Who Left $100,000,000 Married to Miss Mary Powers." "man only 7/2/26" written on the negative presumably relates to a later use of the image. According to NYT, July 10, 1926, select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0C1EF739551B7A... "PHILADELPHIA, July 9. -- William Weightman 3d, the three times married and once divorced member of a wealthy Philadelphia family, was on his way to Auburn Prison today to surrender as a violator of his parole."

Frederic Courtland Penfield (1855-1922), US diplomat and writer, based in Europe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederic_Courtland_Penfield I presume that's the second wife he married in 1908, Anne Weightman Walker. (It was also her second marriage.) Her father, William Weightman (1813-1904) was a wealthy Philadelphian: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Weightman When William died, Anne became one of the wealthiest women in the world.
