Commentary
Isabella saved this photograph of her favorite niece, Olga Eliza Gardner Monks (1869-1944), with her two sons, George Gardner Monks (1898-1978) and John Peabody Monks (1901-1956). Olga was the daughter of Jack's brother George Augustus Gardner (1829-1916) and inherited Isabella's personal effects after her death.
