A woman identified as Mrs. J.H. Choate Jr. is pictured in connection with a Roosevelt wedding, though the record gives no date and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service noted on the negative or its card, which has not been independently verified. The Bain agency worked in New York in the early twentieth century, photographing prominent people and news events for newspapers, so its glass negatives capture the formal dress and public life of the Progressive Era. Because the identification and the wedding are only loosely documented here, the Roosevelt connection is best treated as a starting point for further research.
