      This must be his third and final wife, Helene (born Ellen Franz, 1839-1923):

      I think that he looks frightened. Is that a pistol he is reaching for?

      Thanks for the research pennylrichardsca. We'll fill in the names the next time we update the record. It looks to me like he's holding on to a magnifying glass, FreeRangeBob.

      He founded and ran a theater. She was an actress. See www.hotreview.org/articles/ourdebtsto.html for more on his influence on theatrical production.
