Granny with the mantilla?

This is a wedding photo of Amelia( Amy) and William Clark date roughly(1900-1904). Only identified photo we have of Gran(big mantilla) William is leaning sweetly towards her on the left.

Compared with the basket carrying woman in the putative Ackholt farm photo, she has similar build , similar hair and seems to be wearing her mum's best wedding hat for the potato harvest.No wonder Mum's looking pissed.
Seems to be a family tradition of scrawny men and well built women.
