Do You Know These People?

From Marge. Here is one of the pictures that I have. They were in with my mother's pictures, Bess McCarron, and she gave them to me with no names on them but it is from Jackson Co., I know as that is where she lived and died.

This is some more from my Mom, Bess McCarron. On the bottom of each of them is the name The Hamley Studios, Maquoketa, Iowa.

Here are the last of them. The smallest one, a portrait says Hamley 1912. The other says Hamley Studios, Maquoketa, Iowa.

This picture is from Art Mooney who wants to know who the little kid is. The photo was taken on the Henry Louis Wiese (b 4/30/1841 - d 9/12/1912) farm in Southfork Twp. Near Nashville, Iowa.

This picture came from Sharon Frederick. This picture was the property Eunice Becker Griffith 1837 NY-1915 Jackson Co. Iowa.

This picture came from Roseanna Zahner. She said "it was with my Fouts family belongings". Do you know who it is?

This picture came from a relative of Henry H. Leonard, who had a small stern wheeler,
called a "launch", that he ran from Sabula.

I have a couple of photos I'm sending that were taken by O.R. Heinemann of Preston, IA. The pictures are of the same family taken maybe 20+ years apart. I think it may be of a Borman or an Assenmacher family (I could be absolutely wrong). It was sent to Louis, Hattie, or Tony Fehring in Glencoe, Payne Co., OK. I am wondering if any of your readers recognize this family. We have several other photos of this family and are willing to share. Cindy Fehring Carr

Several photos submitted by John Richenburg, who writes that these are unknown
Arensdorf and/or Knipp relations, who lived mostly in Jackson County, Iowa.

This picture came from Ann Miller. She says "This man is unidentified.
He could possibly be a Fuegan, Sterberz, Lehmkuhl or Pankow". Can anyone identify him?
