He looks old enough to smoke, but not old enough to use a cane. This hundred plus year old photo appears to have been sent to Nephi relatives from England.

We are uncertain as to who this couple is, but the photo was recently found in the chest of photos and documents belonging to Nephi resident-Sarah Warren Tolley, and her other artifacts show dates from 1850 to the time of her death in 1916. The early pioneers coming to Juab County were often transplants from the British Isles, and in those days, the pioneers would send letters and photos to the family members who had arrived in the Nephi.

Try as I might, I can't figure out what the ink writing says, other than "....don't you think" or who signed it. As it shows "By His Majesty's" letter marking, it is assumed it was during King Edward VII, who started his reign in 1901, following the death of his mother Queen Victoria, when most of the Nephi pioneers were migrating here.
