Identifying Thrift Store Photographs

 A third photograph from the fire group estate sale. No studio name. On the back in ink is "Frank & Mary Boxstrom" (or possibly Baxstrom). Frank and Mary Baxstrom. I searched on Ancestry the public trees for a Frank Boxstrom married to a Mary. Nothing. I then searched for Frank Baxstrom married to a Mary. I quickly found the couple. Frank Ben Baxstrom was born on 22 February 1890 in Dolores, Colorado, son of Peter Baxstrom and Emma Ottilia Broman.  Frank was married on 16 November 1913 in Dolores, Montezuma County, Colorado to Mary E. Osterfeld. Mary was born on 17 October 1891 in Colorado. Their home was valued at $2,000. They did not have a radio. Frank worked as a garage repair man. On 21 February 1920, Frank and Mary and their daughter Marguerite lived in Dolores. Frank was a farmer. On 4 April 1930, Frank and Mary, their daughter Florence M., a sister in law, Frank L. Mari Smith, and her son Kenneth F. Smith lived in Dolores. On 4 April 1940, Frank and Mary, their da...

 Another fire department estate sale photo find. A folder containing over-sized photos from the Risdon studio of Safford and Clifton, Arizona. On the back of written in ink "Elizabeth Maurer Safford Ariz Box 373." Stamped on the back in red and black ink is "17 31 20." I went to Findagrave.com and searched for Maurer living in Safford, Graham County, Arizona. One couple showed up, Benjamin and Elizabeth Maurer. I assumed that the photos are of that couple (and this was proven when similar photos were found on Ancestry.com). Benjamin Maurer, 1867-1935. Elizabeth A. (Hoffman)(Crabbe)(Maurer) Stratton, 1886-1940. Benjamin Maurer was born on 1 January 1869 in New York, the son of Benjamin Maurer and Mary Haller. Benjamin was married first on 5 September 1891 in El Paso County, Texas to Ella M. Dalton. Ella was born in December 1871 in New York. By August 1897, the couple was living in Willcox, Arizona. Ben owned land in Safford (Graham Guardian (Safford, Arizona), 13 A...

Can I identify the person in a photo without a name? I purchased this photo for a dollar at the fireman's monthly estate sale. It is from the Edrington studio of Weslaco, Texas. Weslaco is in Hidalgo County, Texas. There is no name on the photo. However, there is a lot of other information. Between the existing photo and the missing one is "Dec. 25- 1931."  Below the photo of the woman is "Mother- Born April 6, 1869 (62 yrs) Xenia Kansas Died in Pampa Texas Dec 29-1954 heart attack  married Feb 22 1886 Married 45 yrs when taken here." Beneath the now missing photo is "Dad- Born Aig 9, 1860 - (71 yrs) Lansing, Michigan  Died in Hospital Victoria Texas June 4, 1933 car accident concussion of skull."  I checked Findagrave.com for the two, putting in their birth and death years and searching Victoria County (where Victoria is) and Gray County (where Pampa is). No luck. I then went to Ancestry public trees and typed in the woman's exact birth and death ...
