Viola Muse, Dr. Priestly Mullins, Lorenzo Graham, and an Unidentified Woman with Grey Eagle in Background
This item appears to be a photographic postcard featuring (counter-clockwise from lower left) Viola Muse; Dr. Priestly Mullins, her first husband; Lorenzo Graham; and an unidentified woman. The boat showing the name <em>Grey Eagle</em> in the background resembles the packet boat <em>Grey Eagle, </em>but according to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries, that vessel sank in Illinois in 1888. See <a href="https://search.library.wisc.edu/digital/ACIGKAL5KL6CID8T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://search.library.wisc.edu/digital/ACIGKAL5KL6CID8T</a>. <br /><br />On the back of the postcard is written the following:<br /><br />"Viola Binlak <br />Dr. P.L. Mullins, Vie's husband <br />Lorenzo Graham"<br /><br /><em>Binlak</em> is possibly Muse's middle name, as she identifies herself on many of the documents at the Jacksonville Historical Society as <em>Viola B. Muse</em>.
