About this record

Provenance

The archive's detail page for this plate survives only as an empty file (it is empty on the original server as well), so the plate photograph and the archive's index listing — "Maggie E Rivrs died 1881" — are the only sources.

Spelling

"Rivrs" is the spelling engraved on the plate and used by the archive's index; it may represent "Rivers."
