This cabinet card appears to portray Katie Earl.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find a suitable Katie, Kate, Katherine, Catherine, etc. located in or near Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, where the photo was taken.
The photographer is probably Ross Williams (you’ll notice the initials R W in the monogram), who is found living in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan in the 1900 census, age 39, with the occupation of photographer. I was not able to locate him before or after 1900.
