Binns. She married William Wingfield abt. 1891. In 1880 she was living with her family at 818 Main St. West.

Jan 1880. There father, Walter, died in a horrible train accident just as Katie was to be married. In the 1900 Census, the family was living at 703 Grace St. In the 1880 Census, the family was on Perry St, near 9th, in Manchester. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85038614/1900-06-05/ed-1/seq-1/;words=Cheatham+Atlantic-Coast+Coast+Atlantic+Line+lined+line+WalterAJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495295138304264877.post-39848587592044290712011-08-05T08:23:50.100-04:002011-08-05T08:23:50.100-04:00You said it and thanks for doing the research.

If the date of her birth is correct (1870), the photo of 1818 W Main is likely in the 1875 range, given the height of the girls in the picture (in relation to the fence.)<br /><br />She's also #9 in the school photo from 1889, making her 18 or 19 in the photo. <br /><br />Excellent find!

Also, the "Lucille" looks like it is "Lunelle" based on other lettering styles.<br /><br />Doing some research on the names it appears possible that this could be relevant, though the 1920 date would almost certainly be wrong if it is Lunelle in the picture, or Lunelle was a passed down family name: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85034438/1901-07-24/ed-1/seq-6/;words=Cheatham+LunelleSean Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651730382912484783noreply@blogger.com
