I am not sure this picture is really of John Brisben Walker and wife. The LOC entry says only that it is "Mrs. J.B. Walker and wife," and there could have been other JB Walkers. The date given in LOC entry is ca 1910-1915, when John Brisben Walker would have been 63-68 (that fits the image) but his wife at that time, Ethel Richmond Walker, would have been 43-48, and this woman looks younger. And she is definitely NOT John Brisben Walker's third wife, Iris Calderhead (see other photos in the LOC) and unlikely to be his first wife Emily Strother, who would have also been over 60 when the photo was taken.
