Nope, it's not Hannah Armstrong.

For some reason Clara Barton comes to mind. The images that pop into my mind are photographs of a younger Clara. I don't know if Gene's post is subconsciously reminding me of something or just messing with my head.

Right on, Steve. It is indeed an image of Clara Barton.

Yes.
I recognized Clara Barton because years ago my wife volunteered with Red Cross for a few years in disaster relief for hurricane and flood relief.

Who is this lady?

It's Fanny McCullough. Lincoln wrote her a letter of sympathy after her father was killed in battle. The letter is often compared to the more famous Bixby letter. Fanny's photograph is sometimes in accounts of the Bixby letter, (that also mention Fanny's letter) because there are no known surviving photographs of Mrs. Bixby.

Excellent, Steve. It is Fanny McCullough.
