The first one is a drawing from a photo and I would think was done when she was younger. It would have been a tough life as a farmers wife and many of the women look older in photos than they were. In one of my grandmother's photos, my Great Grandmother looks to be in her mid 60s but according to the date on the back, she was 47!
