Can anyone ID the lady in this photograph ?

Found this cabinet card sized albumen print photo yesterday.I'm guessing late 1860's-mid 1870's (?).The image is 5 1/2" by 4" mounted on period card stock,no studio/city marks/logos.
Written on reverse in pencil-'Eliza Jennings'.There are of course tons of Eliza (Elizabeth) Jennings on Google.The most likely Eliza founded a home for 'ill and indigent women' in Cleveland Ohio in the 1880's.
The fourth b&w pic is one I found on the Elizabeth Jennings Senior Care Home FB page.
Do you think they might resemble each other ?
PS-Wouldn't mind having that shawl.

 

Not someone I'd want to contradict.

 

Not the same person imo. Your Eliza has deep set eyes, Elizabeth Jennings of the Senior Care Home doesn't. The nose is also different.
But both are clearly strong women.

 

I was struck by Eliza's strength in the photo.I normally don't buy 'instant ancestors'.

 

May we see the whole mount, please?

 

Hmm. It has been oddly trimmed at some point in its past.

 

The hairdo goes back into the 1850s; I bet she liked it and kept it.

 

Just found this - looks to be the same woman only younger. Same hairstyle. I see similarities in the mouth.

Definitely similarities.

Also the straight eyebrows and the eyes. She is younger there, and you can see that the eyes could become more deep set as she got older.

 

I agree - maybe researching her son would provide more information.

 

Glad to see you all helping out with this inquiry. I have old pics and photos, from families other than mine, that I'm trying to help get the items back to!

 

they may not always want them back....... or they're all dead......
but ...it's a laudable venture !!!
good luck !
