Portrait of Emma Guy Cromwell, who served as Secretary of State of Kentucky from 1924-1928. She is wearing an elaborate velvet textured dress and long necklace, clutching it with both hands. The photograph has been creased in the top corner and what could be a fan drawn into the back of her hair.

Useful snapshot of Cromwell's political life and bio as part of the official Kentucky government's website; many of the statements were supplied to the researcher by a descendent and several of the resources are outdated.
This site seems very useful for anyone who is conducting research on any of the people listed here. Many seem to be still living and this could be used as a primary resource if you can contact them and set up an interview.
NOTE: Carol Jordan has been leading a "Fundraising effort launched to complete two endowed chairs while honoring former Senator Georgia Davis Powers and former First Lady Judi Conway Patton."
Wonderful resources available here at the website for the UofL Anne Braden Institute - the Director is Dr. Cate Fosl who is joining us on Nov 18th with the AASRP Dialogues on Race session on Anne Braden.
