Here is a note from her relative Bruce Mason, decendant of Doris Vines:

My great Aunt Lou was the local school marm in a one room school house in Neodesha Kansas. She and her husband Charles were well traveled and owned properties or shares in properties from Kansas and Oklahoma to California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Texas in their time. They had no children of their own but were fondly known as Uncle Charlie and Aunt Lou by many. In the above picture, Lou is shown with Doris Vine, a family friend.
