Miss Anna Jarvis's photo was taken by
Frances B. Johnston c. 1900, when
Miss Jarvis was in Washington, DC, to
speak to legislators about making
Mother's Day a nationally recognized
holiday. No one knew Frances had
taken this photo of Anna until I
discovered it within Frances's archives
at the Library of Congress. Both ladies
are from Grafton, WV, and born the
same year: 1864.
