This lovely dark eyed girl is identified in the photo album as Edwina Fulton, niece of Emma Mearns. I looked through the entire book and there is not a photo of Emma Mearns and if there ever was one, it has long since gone with another family member. There are numerous open spaces in the album. However, there is a photo of an Emma Chandler. Iggy can you do anything with this? We shall see.
The photographer was A. K. P. Trask at 1210 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA. I’d guess that Ms. Fulton is between 14-17 years of age in this photo.
Who Were They? 
Edwina Fulton (b. Dec 1876) married Austin S. Winslow in 1898. (Philadelphia Orphan’s Court Record)
I found this too:
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia City Death Certificates, 1803-1915 for Edwin Fulton Winslow
Death Date: 24 Apr 1902
Death Place: Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Gender: Male
Race: White
Death Age: 6 months
Estimated Birth Year: 1902
Birthplace: Pennsylvania
Father’s Name: Austin S. Winslow
Mother’s Name: Edwina Winslow

I could find nothing further – she “disappears” after 1902.
If Emma Mearns is her Aunt… I will assume she was about 10-20 years older than Edwina and born about 1850-ish. Will investigate when I can.

Emma Mearns was “nee Fulton”. I found this:

Emma Mearns F 28y

So Emma Chandler is someone else… unless Emma Mearns remarried after the age of 67.

If i had to guess – I would assume Edwina was Edwin's daughter. She doesn't appear to be William T.'s. Edwin was unmarried in 1870 and doesn't appear in the 1880 census.

Edwina Fulton Winslow is listed in the 1920 US Census as “Edwin” and born in 1878. No wonder I didn’t see her. She and Austin are living alone at that time.
In the 1900 census, she is listed with spouse Auster Winslow with child Rosemon Winslow (September 1899). Did Rosemon live and marry?
With the “fuzzy” dates – I can’t find any record for 1910.
