Here's the younger one:
The older woman:
Certainly looks like the same person, doesn't it?
Assuming that the ID is correct, the girl in the first photo looks about 11 or so. Since Dora was born in 1865, the photo would have been taken about 1875. In the second photo Dora looks maybe 18 - 21 or so, which would date the picture about 1883 - 1887. These are just guesstimates, folks!
Dora married twice, first to Monroe Camp and then to Charles W. Piper. According to the Census, she had four children and two lived. Her surviving child with Camp was Winnie May (b. 1890). With Charles Piper she had Gladys (b. 1899 - d. 1904) and Thelma Fern (b. 1907 - d. 1998).

If a descendant of Dora contacts me and asks for them, I'd be happy to send the originals out. These are family photos, and photos belong with their families.
More photos soon!
