Here is a few original photos of folks that lived in Nephi, Utah a century or so ago. We have some of their names, and had to guess on a couple.

The first photo of the distinguished gentleman may be Joseph Tolley or Louis Tolley, as both of those names are written on the back in beautiful but old cursive writing. I  haven't completed enough research on either name to make an accurate confirmation.

The second photo and frame are from 1890, showing Chloe and Earl Tolley, who are children of George and Ester Christensen Tolley, originally of Nortonville, Utah.

The photo of the two buddies and cousins are from 1916, and their identity was confirmed on the back, along with the year. They are Ray Jones and Loran Tolley(brother of Rex Tolley).  Ray is the son of Ed Jones of Nephi, and Loran is the son of Charles and Melvina Christensen Tolley.

It is unclear who the fourth photo is of, but we do have her first name, which is Sarah. The cursive writing makes it difficult to determine her last name, but it appears to be a name I am not familiar with.  It may be Tourson or Toursin or something like that.
