We know who and where - but not the when! What year(s) do you think this is? Just love her infectious smile.
Well, let's see. Her name was Gertrude Jane Fegley but she went by Katie. She was born 8/19/1892 in Kansas (and died 2/12/1980). She married Arthur I. Shepard. In this photo, she looks to be maybe 20-ish. So I'll say somewhere near 1912.
Katie has a memorial page on Find A Grave and is in several people's trees on [external link], many of which include this photo with no date.

It is rare to find someone smiling during this period. She must have been exotic in character. ☺
That was some of the style back then. I knew an elderly lady some years ago who showed me a photo of when she was about 14 from around that same era. A shirt/blouse with a tie wasn't too unusual. Not everyone looked like a Gibson Girl in a fancy dress.
