Just looked at picture and think I can clear up mystery women. The younger woman with her hands on Martha looks like my grandmother Dorothy and appears to be the right age from the date. The other older woman on my great grandfather Charles' right may be his second wife Annie Laura Rissler Cottam. They were married 12/12/1895. His obituary in Little Rock Arkansas mentions a sister, Mrs. Charles Curl, of Wooster Ohio. We knew almost nothing about the Curls and only knew that Dorothy had a half-brother Vincent whom she thought died in Florida. My grandmother was the only child of Charles and Annie. I plan to look further at the website and will then fill in any details which I might possibly have that you don't. So I guess hello.
