SCHEIDE, Mrs William Taylor (Ida Sarah Hinsdale)

The sitter was born in Onondaga County, New York, on December 17, 1850, and died on September 19, 1921 in Titusville, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Stephen Hinsdale (1816-1880) and Mary Ann Barber (born 1821).

According to the artist’s diary for December 13th, 1933, during the first sitting which this sitter’s daughter in law had that day (see above), Mrs. Scheide spoke of the portraits of her father-in-law and that of her mother-in-law, so Muller-Ury must have executed the portrait of Scheide’s wife, Ida Hinsdale, in 1924-25 as well.
