Rita Burton has been contacted by Becky Kerst. Becky attached a photo of her great-great-grandmother, Sallie Odum, who bears a strong resemblance to Rita's "Unknown Woman".

Becky knows nothing of Sallie Odum's family. She may be the Sarah Odom, age 20, working as a servant in the household of J.F. Orr, 42, in the 1880 Webster County census.

Sallie Odum married Becky's great-great-grandfather, William Webster Baker 9 Apr 1883 in Webster County. According to family lore, William Baker drowned in the Mississippi River while the family was moving to Arkansas. Sallie Odum Baker later married Uncle Tuck Wallace in Monette, AR.

See a side-by-side comparison of the two photos.
