I think I can identify both of the ladies; they are sisters:
Obituary Sycamore True Republican 21 Apr 1917.
"John Greenway, only son of Joseph and Mary Greenway, was born Feb 2, 1849, in England.He died April 12, 1917, at his home in Esmond, Ill. When he was six months old he was brought to this country by his parents.He grew to manhood on his father's farm in Ogle county, Illinois, and continued farming after his marriage on land adjoining his father's farm until 21 years ago.He then moved to Holcomb where he remained for five years when he came to Esmond where he has been in business for the last 16 years.Mr. Greenway married Mary Batty who died five years later.On Oct 24 he was united in marriage to Annie Eliza Robinson.To this union were born three children, Mary Elma Barnes and Grace Barbra, both of Esmond; and Jessie May, who passed to the other land Oct 11, 1888."
Grace Greenway was born in 1882 and sister Mary was born in 1880, both to John's second wife as noted in his obit.
