The following is from Sue Marlow, please contact her for more information:
I have recently come into possession of several hundred photographs dating from the late 1800s to approximately 1945, including three tintypes. The photographs were collected by Mary Anna Wells over her lifetime and most do not have an indication as to who the individual in the photograph might be. I believe that most of the individuals will have a connection to either Sedalia, St. Louis or Kansas City, Missouri. I have compiled the following list of the few photographs that did have names written on them or under them in her photograph album:
