WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE FROM A 1930's PHOTO?

 We are not sure who most of these people may be, although we quickly recognized the two middle photos that show husband and wife. The photo in the middle is the picture is of Wm. Jones and his wife Elizabeth Tolley Jones. In the photo to the right is Jane Tolley Jones and her husband Edward Jones. That was the time that two brothers married the two sisters of Nortenville, Juab County, Utah. As this collage of photos was given to us by a member of the Tolley family, we are doing a Guesstamatiion that this must have been some sort of get together of Tolley folks. At least one of the gals is the same in different photos, and in at least two different photos, so that clan stayed wherever they were for a couple days. That sane gal is leaning against a photo of a car which appears to be have a Utah plate(as they had different plates every year), but this old semi blind guy can't read the year, but guess it was the 1930's. The background isn't Nephi, so time for you folks to guess! The nice looking car is certainly not the car of either Jones boys, as they were Nortonville farmers and lost much when the Great Depression hit. The gal on the older car is always looking away from the photographer, so not sure who may have been what caught her attention. So have fun guessing what the Fancy Dancy car that is and who the other folks may be. The photo in the top right has a name on it that appears to be "Louie" and the gal by the fancy car may be a smoker she has interest in! And what is the full name of the "Mission" word on the building sign and is that Reno? Time to get your Microscope out, but have fun.
