These photos are at least a hundred years old, but we need your help for their names.

With the help of Megan Garrett and Livingston Photo, we put a group of photos together that require your assistance to identify. We have partial names, but further help would be great before they are submitted to the families or Utah Daughters of Pioneer Museum. We believe most are from Juab County, Utah, as many have the imprint of "Alma Chase" photography of Nephi City on them. Please send us any information, but have fun figuring out who is who and what is what or why is when! We know for sure the first photo is of the Mauss Triplets. One boy and two girls-Vinal, Velma and Vilda. Born at Murray, Salt Lake county, Utah, on Oct. 16, 1900. Total weight at birth 15 pounds. We would like to get this photo to their family.

    (1) I have the same picture as Group 4, picture 6 & on the back it says "Henry Lafayette Sperry & friends". I think he is the first one on the left (smallest guy). (2) I have a picture of Grandpa Ross at about the same age as picture 4 in Group 3...not sure yours is Ross Tolley, but I could be wrong...

    Perhaps you can find descendants of the Mauss triplets thru Family Search (its free). I found them & a picture like yours with a picture of the three probably in their 60s posted as in the news. Contributors of "memories" are listed so they can be contacted thru Family Search & gives them a chance to be in touch with others interested in their families.

    OK, one more comment then I'll leave you alone...I forgot to tell you that Henry Lafayette Sperry always went by "Lafe" and was the oldest of the Mable, Alean, Rheta Clan. He never married.
