Friday's Photo: Unlabeled Photos from Marguerite Cook Clark's Bienville Parish Collection

These unlabeled photos are from the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark. Only a small amount of her photos have not been identified and, due to the condition, these might be the most difficult.

I know from experience that the only way to identify these very old photos is to find someone that has the same or similar photos. That means sending them to family and posting them on the Internet; a website, a blog, and/or Facebook. Tonight, they will be posted on my blog and several Facebook groups in hopes of finding someone who might have a match. 

Due to the poor condition of these photos, I enhanced and colorized them at My Heritage in order to see more detail.  

Take a look - do you have similar photos at home? 



Could this be your family? This photo was only a little faded, but I really like the colorization. 











The photo above appears to be a young girl and someone older, maybe her mother? The young girl's face colorized nicely and shows details. The colorization of the older girl/woman did not give the details needed. 


This woman's photo (above) appears to have been taken in Weatherford, Texas. Maybe in the 1890s. The photo on the right is the colorized photo and doesn't help in this case. 


The woman above has a slightly misshapen mouth possibly due to marks on the photo. The woman below is very hard to see but does anyone have a card like this behind the photo?
