Family Album of Reason Deforest Wall and Winnifred Pearl Tyler

This photo is from an undated tin type but likely in the 1890's before my grandparents were married. L-R: my grandfather Reason Deforest Wall, grandmother Winifred Pearl Tyler, a male friend of my grandfather, Dolly Koppleberger who was a friend of grandmother.

Undated, probably 1890's before my grandparents were married in 1895. The identities of the man in the light colored suit and the women besides my grandfather are not known. My grandmother Winifred (Tyler) Wall behind the seated lady in the middle
