I have already told most of what I know of Catherine (Quinlan) McAuliffe. Here is a little glimpse of her personality:

… That is, her personality as described by her daughter, Mary, to someone else, who wrote these notes on the back of the photo.

The photo is undated, but could not be later than October 1899. To my eyes, both the fashion of her blouse and her apparent age suggest the 1890s. That means the photo was taken some years before it was printed on this divided-back postcard dating to 1907 or later.
