This is Fannie Nash Werner, who sang at the funeral of Samuel Quinlan. The caption under the original at the museum describes her: "Teacher who, with the Woman's Reading Club, spearheaded the campaign to get this building [now the museum] as a library."

The photo is undated. What little I can see of her dress suggests the 1880s to me. Fannie was born around 1869, so this could be the late 1880s. In 1895 she married Fred H. Werner, who later became a dentist.

The photo below, also undated, looks a little earlier. The three young women seem to be dressed up for some event.
