Photo of Mary DeMotte Smock taken in the National Gallery of Indianapolis, IN.Mary and her husband Jacob Smock later moved to Iowa around 1865.This photo has a 3 cent International Revenue stamp on the back meaning the photo was taken during the Civil War era, after 1862. Mary is wearing a large print dress typical of the period, dropped shoulder seams, very fitted bodice, bishop sleeves (very full but tight at the wrist), and a hoop skirt. She has a detached lace collar and brooch. Hair is pulled back tight over the ears.
