The photos on the wall are "identified" as follows, left to right.
1. At first glance, this probably is a sister of Elsie's or perhaps Elsie herself. This is the unknown photo that has the highest probability of being identified through comparisons to existing photos. Elsie had several sisters so why would she single out one of them? On further inspection and comparison of her features and her facial bone structure, this appears to be Elsir's wedding photo, but not with total certainty.
2. With reasonable certainty this is her husband, Finne.
3. With 100% certainly, this is Albert Taylor, her father.
4. We know who this man isn't but not who he is. It is just grainy enough to make a positive identification challenging. However, from circumstantial evidence, we can make a reasonable estimate that this was a photo of Joe Taylor, Elise's only surviving brother. Joe's lifetime spanned the invention of color photograph. This is the only color photo, so it could not have been her oldest brother, Albert, who died in 1911.
Lower row
1. Her mother, with 100% certainty, which we know from a better copy of this photo.
2. An older photo of a female, likely an ancestor, too grainy to identify positively. However, the most likely candidate is Jane Cushier Lee (Cushier-6). The shape of the face and age of the photo contributed to this hypothesis.
