There is no identifying information for the woman photographed in the CDV. The photographer’s imprint on the back reads: “Q. P. Knight, Photographer, Batavia, New York.”
I located a Q P Knight, photographer, living in Batavia, Genesee, New York in the 1880 census. [1] A Google search turned up a family tree that showed the same individual, with a full name of Quartus Parsons Knight. [2] According to this source, Quartus died in 1894.
