"Drowned on the Eastland"

Today is the 98th anniversary of the Eastland disaster, and I have something (allegedly) relevant from the steamer trunk.

On the back of this charming portrait, someone has written:

Without a name, I can't even begin to verify this sad story. But I'm sure there were many such bright-eyed and smiling young women boarding the boat that morning.
