This is a photo of Dora Clark, my grandmother, which was taken in 1945. She is sitting in the rocking chair which my father inherited and in which I was rocked to sleep by my mother while she sang Brahm's Lullabye. Credit to Bridges for the photo.

This is a photo of Dora Chambers Clark, date unknown. However, the apparel looks to be Victorian-Edwardian, rather than post World War I, and the hairstyle is an upswept Gibson Girl look, which was prevalent in the twenty years spanning the two centuries, so an estimate is late 19th Century or early 20th Century, but whether before or after her marriage, which was September 19, 1904, is unknown.

This photo, taken from our family album, was extracted from a group photo taken at 603 Allison Street, Boone, Iowa, the home of her eldest son, my father, Clarence Clark, in about 1943.
Grandma Clark suffered from advanced stage breast cancer in her final years. My mother, Cecile Estelle Clark, and probably my aunt, Delorus, Uncle Chet's wife, nursed her while she was ill. I can just barely remember, at the age of three, going to Grandma's house in 1945 for the final Thanksgiving we shared with her, since she died the following Sunday.
As an addendum, I would like to note that Grandma for many years was the organist at the Marion Street Methodist Church in Boone, Iowa, which was just a few blocks from her home.
As an additional note of interest, she had been a dressmaker and a seamstress prior to her marriage.
