On the album page was written "friend" but her name is unknown. The rose color in her cheeks were hand colored. This carte de visite photograph did not have an imprint on either the front or back, so the locality where the photo was taken is unknown.

The word "friend" was written on the album page and on the back of this carte de visite photograph was written David Spelsbury of Toquerville, Kane Co., Utah. No photographer's imprint was on the photo and the place where the photo was taken is unknown.

We do not know who this person was, but some have thought he looks like Brigham Young.

The carte de visite photograph was taken at T. B. Cardon & Bros. in Logan City, Utah

Annie Werner

Annie Werner, a friend of Mama's.

We assume Mama was in reference to Mary Lavantia Curtis, the original owner of the Curtis family photograph album. 

The photo was taken by J.O. Stephens in Ogden, Utah and was the 50th picture in the album.

No other information is known about Annie.

Oscar Benjamin Curtis or Will Card

The name Will Card was written on the album page, not on the photograph itself. A cousin had a similar photo with "My Father" written on the back; the photo originally belonged to Belle Curtis whose father was Oscar Benjamin Curtis (1858-1921).

The two photos were taken a different times and places, but the men look exactly alike.

This photo was taken by Van Buskirk, place unknown and was the 51st photo in the Curtis family album.

Please add a comment if you have other details that would help identify this person.

This was the very last photograph in the Curtis family album, the 52nd picture!

The photographer was Mrs. Fannie Hoyt, whose business was located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

children of Oscar Benjamin and Esther Mary [Thompson] Curtis

The photograph of the four children was previously added to the blog by another descendant of Benjamin Kingman Curtis. This copy shows the entire photograph, both front and back, including the shape and details of the Cabinet Card style. The picture was the 21st photo in the Curtis family album owned by Mary Lavantia Curtis and the children were her nieces and nephews. The second photo was the 36th photo in the album and was a Carte de Visite style. The baby, Cora Lavantia Curtis, is the same baby in both pictures, sitting in the same chair and wearing the same dress. A photographer's imprint was not on either photo. See the other photo for details about all the children in the family including those pictured here: left to right, Munson Clyde Curtis, Cora Lavantia Curtis, Minnie Belle Curtis, and Benjamin W. Curtis.
