Edna Catherine McKnew, San Francisco, circa 1906 -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #897

 This is one of the priceless (to me) images in my computer file folders:

The person in this photograph is Edna Catherine McKnew (1884-1974) of San Francisaco, the daughter of Elijah Pickrell McKnew and Jane (Whittle) McKnew.  The date may be as early as 1896 and as late as 1910 or so.  This photograph may have been taken in 1906 on the occasion of her marriage to Paul Schaffner. 

The photograph was taken by Ehmann (photograph studio?) in San Francisco at 111 Fourth Street near Mission.  There is a Charles E. Ehmann listed at 11 Fourth Street in the 1896 San Francisco City Directory. 

I colorized the original black and white photograph with the MyHeritage photo tools in recent years.

This photograph is a part of my wife's, and my brother-in-law Paul's, family history.  Paul Leland probably provided a digital copy of it to me from his collection several years ago.
