Douglas said she turned the picture over and there were two things on the back, a name, "Susanne Mary Humphries," and a date, "1916."
“The name Humphries is a very old name in Fernandina. Our first hospital was name after Dr. Humphries,” said Douglas.
After she got the picture, she posted on social media and someone contacted her, saying they may be able to help.
“A local genealogist on Facebook actually did research and did find a connection, so we have a starting point,” said Douglas.
