This is an interesting photo. I've never seen one that said the person was a Snake Charmer. I have not been able to find any info on her yet. Photo was taken in New York. Purchased from Home, Pennsylvania.

Elizabeth M Davern


I think Elizabeth may have gone by the name Mary. In the 1880 Census, the only Davern in Marathon, New York that I found was a William that worked as a farm laborer in Marathon. He was also listed as living in Triangle, New York married to a Mary. She could have possibly traveled to Marathon to have her photo taken. Triangle was and is still a very small town. There is a good chance that there was not a photographer there. I grew up about 10 minutes of Triangle, New York. My husband's family was also from the Triangle area and could have possibly known this family. The photo is dated June '91. Purchased photo from Hamilton, New York.
