Looking for signature examples of Susan F. Bissell watercolors

I am Researching the Artist S. Bissell. There are numerous examples of the artists work and I am determining which S. Bissell the artworks should be attributed to. Most are signed S. Bissell and most are being attributed to Samuel Bissell of the Boston Art Club. I have 7 examples of Watercolors signed S. Bissell and want to give the correct artist their due. One watercolor signed S. Bissell has been attributed to Susan F. Bissell in the aforementioned article by . It would be helpful to know if the painting is from a local museum or other source that would have some historical or other provenance attributing the work in fact to Susan F. Bissell. If so it clears up the attribution of all the S. Bissell paintings I have seen online and at auction sites. The signature is distinctive and the doubles S'S look a lot like the numeral "5". One oil painting attributed to her is in oil and the signature is a script signature and doesn't match the watercolor block printed signatures and the graphite pencil signatures. So if anyone has a good source of Susan F. Bissell's signature example that is well attributed to Susan I would appreciate the assistance. This will increase the artists biographical information world wide. I would then update the AskArt data base with the information gathered. I am not soliciting to buy or sell. Thank you.
