We have this photo for sale in our eBay store, and we believe it is of Addie Kinabrew Morton - that is the name written in pencil on the back of the photo. Photographer information is also stamped on the back - "J. A. Lindgren, Photographer, Cleburne, Texas". The Photo is about 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 inches.
Kinabrew is one of those names that can be spelled more than one way - I've seen Kinnabrew, Kinnebrew & Kennebrew, which are all probably different spellings of the same name. There seem to be plenty of Kinabrews about though, and plenty of them still seem to be from Cleburne.
Anyway, this is Addie. We estimate this Cabinet Photo to be from the 1870s or so, and her hair style and clothing seem pretty typical. She's holding two small purses, which is a little unusual, perhaps, but not much. And she's wearing a dark dress with a huge amount of lace.
