Mr. Jones
Antique Photograph Album, image #8 - the only thing we know about this person is that his name was Mr. Jones and he was a friend. A friend of whom is unknown, but assume he was a friend of the Curtis family. The photograph was taken in Logan, Utah at the T. B. Cardon art gallery.
Mrs. Jones
Antique Photograph Album, image #9 - We can assume that this person is the wife of Mr. Jones, the eighth picture in the album. Written on both photographs was the word "friend" and we assume this meant that Mr. and Mrs. Jones were friends of the Curtis family. I wish we knew more about this couple and how they came to be friends with the Curtis family. Did the know each other in Michigan before the migrated to Utah? Were they neighbors?
Anna Feltstead
This image was the 15th in the antique photograph album. Her name was Anna Feltstead and she was a friend of Mary Lavantia Curtis, original owner of the antique photograph album. The photographer was the Cardon Art Gallery in Logan, Utah. The Cabinet Card image was mounted on a dark brown-black card with gold edges. The style of the card is the same style as the images on pages numbers 8, 9, 21, 25, and 27 in the antique album.
