Unidentified Cabinet Card from Wayne, Michigan Photographer Mamie Corlett

I have a fairly good memory so when I purchased this Wayne cabinet card and tracked it to the studio that William Corlett, first President of said village, owned with a man named Frank Hickok, I recalled that post by The Wayne Historical Society about two women photographers taking over for their dead husbands. Mamie Corlett was one of them and since the lone name appearing on this card is her married name we can assume that she had taken full charge of the studio by this time, Anna Hickok having sold her share in the venture in 1895. Now to identify the people.
