From a Paris Panel photograph by E.M. Davidson of Visalia.  (Circa 1892).

Written on the back of this photo: "Wm Courtner, Aunt Mary Ann".    This is a photograph of  William Coleman Cortner  (1830-1894) and his wife Mary Ann Jordan (1833-1915).     According to the 1892 Tulare County Atlas (by Thos. H. Thompson & Co.),  William Cortner owned land just east of Orosi (in Stokes Valley)...  Perhaps that is where this photo was taken. 

Photograph by "Hammond. Tulare, Cal" (Circa 1911).   I would guess that this is a photo of Tulare High School's baseball team.
  Written on the back of this photograph:
 "Reading from left to right."   "1. Wood",   "2. Dunlap - passed away May 18 1974",   "3. Smith",  "4. Foster",   "5. Ellis - passed away Oct 20 1956",   "6. Pell - passed away May 1913",   "7. Specklemere",   "8. Dye",   "9. Bedford",   "10. Harris",   "11. Hopkins",    "12. Prof. Walton".          Also written at the top is  "J. L. Dunlap", this along with the "2." player listed above seems to refer to John Leslie Dunlap  of Tulare (born 8/6/1893).  e.g.  John L Dunlap did in fact pass away on May 18, 1974.

The name "Ellis"  may be referring to Lawerence Lynn Ellis (born: 10/23/1893,  D: 10/28/1956).   



Printed on the back of this photograph: "Frank S. Ansley", "Photographer",  "Visalia, Cal." (Circa 1902). 

And written on the photo's back:  "Ethel Smith with Shep and Bob".
