Lilly Dunlap was one of my great great Aunts. She was born in 1859. Her photograph on the right was dated 1875.
In 1880, when she was 20, she was a school teacher. She also seems to have went by the name Mary as well as Lilly. On the 1860 census, there is listed a one-year old named Mary E. L. There is a later reference to Lilly as mary. This makes me think her given name may have been Mary Elizabeth Lilly Dunlap and she choose to go by Lilly at some point in her childhood.
She married a farmer named Elias D. Dague and they had three children.

Lilly is the second from the right in the this family photograph, persumally with her husband and two of their children. The photo is marked as "1 missing", so that must have been a third child. I would guess the girl next to lilly must be Mary J.
(This and the following photos were dated 1880.)
In this photo are two boys . I am guessing the boy in the wide-brim hat is who is missing from the previous photograph and is Aunt Lilly's other child.
Again, I am making an assumption that this is my Uncle, the man named Elias Dague that Lilly married, tending these horses, although the dress looks similar to the boy in the previous photo.
