My Maternal First Cousin--Three Times Removed

My genealogy app's relationship calculator came up with that mouthful of a title. Emily Edgin Hail and I both descend from a common ancestors--her maternal grandparents, William Flemon Cowan and Mary Ann (Primm) Cowan. Meet Emily's family with husband Robert T. Hail. Date unknown. I copied this from Brian Atwood's memorial for Emily on Findagrave dot com. Emily was born in Arkansas in 1864 and had only 49 years before passing on March 11, 1914 in Texas. 

I wonder what color her new dress is, and don't her eyes look pretty. How did the photographer get all those boys to stand still? And what might he have been dangling to get those wide-eyed expressions?
