JUEL ID/KEY: P48824

"Carrie Lee," a photograph by Rufus W. Holsinger taken on December 12, 1914.

A Carrie Lee is listed in the J. F. Bell Funeral Home Database: "Carrie Zenobia Lee, born May 12, 1914 in Albemarle County to Ollie and Mary T. Woodfolk; spouse Giles Anderson Lee; died February 20, 1968 at Box 779 Raymond Road, Albemarle County and buried at Lincoln Cemetery." Whether the Carrie Zenobia Lee listed is a relation of the woman photographed is not known; more information is needed. 

Note the similarity in appearance to Eva Hughes (a portrait taken February 5, 1914).

Additional information about Carrie Lee will be added as it is researched.

NOTE that the name with which the portrait is labelled (or, labelled "untitled") is not necessarily the name of the sitter(s) in the portrait, but rather the name of the person who paid for the portrait when it was taken (the date and name associated with each photograph is from the business ledgers of R. W. Holsinger).
