Title: Name: Alice L?th?b??-Lic?
Post by: donnamarcus on Wednesday 12 May 21 19:06 BST (UK)

Found five cabinet card photos at an antique store. All taken in Chicago ca. 1890 and labeled on the reverse by the same person. I've identified four of the subjects confirming they did live in Chicago ~1890. I can't conjure a coherent last name for the fifth (photos shown below). Unfortunately, the cards were taped in ziplock bags obscuring my photos of the names (I did not buy the cards). Plain reading: "Alice Lethebem-Lict" but can't find anyone even close to that.

It appears to Me, that it is Alice Lathem-Lick. The Scribe seems to be alternating between cursive and printed 'e's in the Names. For example, 'Bunker' has a cursive 'e' similar to the one in Lathem.

ADD: On second thoughts, could Bunker actually be Bunkar ?

I appreciate the help on this.
It is, in fact, "Bunker." Mrs. C. A. Bunker was Anna M Maxfield (1858-1937) who was married to Reverend Charles A. Bunker. Photo below.
