A silver bromide portrait of an unidentified woman taken by photographer N. B. Stall in Ada, Oklahoma. Stall [1879-1950] moved to Ada in 1906 and opened shop as a photographer. He is most well known for his photograph of a lynching of 4 outlaws in Ada in 1909. In the late 1880s, Oklahoma Indian territory began to be occupied by white settlers - a post office was established and named after an early settler's daughter, Ada in 1891. Ada incorporated as a city in 1901 and grew quickly with the arrival of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway line. Oval image 5 x 2 3/4" laid down on card 5 x 8 1/2". Lower left is printed "N.B.
