The birth of Viola Dale Ripley

Viola Dale Ripley was born on the 15th of March in 1871 in Fayette County, West Virginia. Her mother was Fannie Melissa Campbell. Fannie was born in Illinois around 1846. Viola's father was Orville Cora Ripley. Orville was born in Gallipolis, Ohio in 1839 and served as a drummer in the Union Army during the Civil War.

I believe this picture was taken at her home in Chestnut Knob, West Virginia.
