Submitter doesn't remember exactly where, but bought the picture at an antique store somewhere in Mississippi and or Kentucky at least 15 yrs ago. When looking on back of picture using a magnifying glass, written in pencil is a very faint name that looks like "W. H. Spencer." The picture has no direct family connection to Melissa.
