I have had this picture in my "family box" for a great number of years, having received it from my mother. She was not one to waste good ink, there was no annotations on the picture as to dating or even the names of the individuals. Perhaps, we could all learn from this for some of the pictures that we have in our possession that might mean something to someone in the future.Just recently, I had this picture identified. I never had the opportunity to meet any of these ladies. The lady on the left is Ella Belle Baker Harrington. She was my grandmother on my father's side of the family. She passed away in 1939, six years prior to my birth. She was married to Henry Philo "Ten" Harrington. The lady on the right has yet to be identified.
The two young ladies on horseback is Esther Irene Harrington and Virginia "Louise" Harrington, sisters to my father and my aunts. I met "Louise" once or twice as a very young boy as they had moved to Wyoming from Nebraska. "Louise" is the girl on the right, she was born in 1916. Based on that, I will assume this picture was taken between 1924 - 1926. Was not able to identify the horses, except one could possibly have the name of "blaze".
More pictures to come!

Pretty cool! Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to collect more!
I am shocked, no one has even asked me how I found out the name of the horse was "blaze"!
It is amazing to see a picture of the women who yesterday we were standing next to her grave.
To actually put a face to the name is just amazing.
I am glad that all of you had a chance to visit the area, isn't that a nice, neat, and clean cemetery. I was amazed the excellent shape that the headstones were, they looked like they were just placed there. Ella Baker Harrington (1039) and Henry Philo Harrington (1945). There is so much more history to be discovered in the area, I will be back. Thanks for going by and seeing their sites.
No problem. It was a beautiful drive even if it was a little cold.
Looks very good! You are such a good tinker belle! With this theme, I will definitely "have to go to the river each evening and clean my gun" "ole blue duck could come riding in anytime" I will do that if someone else "sit up all night, reading a good book and baking biscuits" Nice job! I have not built up my nerve to proceed yet.
