Date for the second? Not much to see but I would think 1920s. The v-neck came out around 1914 so not before that. If it's a woman born in 1867 she'd be in her fifties, what do you think?

Thank you so much for the retouching and dating.  Here is the back of the first picture.  Not a "postcard" but it is on heavy paper. 
So I've come to a few conclusions:  Probably NOT the same woman.  I know who #2 is and dates don't match up if years on #1 are correct.  Will have to go back to my tree to see who else it might be. 
Thanks for all of your insights...so helpful!  This is my first time posting a picture so I appreciate your patience. : )

Hmmm...sure looks like a postcard from the front. Still, this style of photo didn't come out until about 1900 so the print is not contemporary with the subject. Possibly a memorial, made after the subject had passed away, which was a common practice.

Cheers,

Wow, so interesting!  Thanks so much China.  The photo is still in really good condition so that probably explains a lot. 
Cheers,
Kim
