These photos were sent to me by Flo McRobie Walker’s great grandson, Clinton Walker.  I cannot thank him enough for sharing these.

We believe this to be a photo of Isaac’s second wife, Clara Arnold Foster, but we don’t know for sure.  If anyone can confirm this one way or the other, please email me.

Many thanks again to Clinton for sharing.
