C-061 — A framed oval charcoal/pastel portrait of a young woman, held by Lowell Cemetery and reproduced on the Pollard Memorial Library blog (25 Oct 2023) with the credit 'photo credit: Lowell Cemetery', is identified there as Clara Bonney (1855–1894). The sitter's upswept hair with ribbon and off-the-shoulder dress suggest c. 1895–1910; if so, the sitter may be her daughter Clara Bonney Lilley (b. 1894) rather than Clara herself. Artist's signature lower right, unread.
