Mary E. S. Beard attended Oberlin and in 1879 married Reuben A. Beard, a graduate of the School of Theology that year. Her sister Patten Beard gave the photograph in exchange for a small sum to the Oberlin College Library in 19??. Her father, Rev. A. F. Beard (1833-1934), Secretary of the American Missionary Association, arranged for the donation of several items related to John Frederick Oberlin to the Library.
