Hello, I live in Victoria, BC Canada and am a keen genealogist. My husband recently acquired the attached photo when someone at the local auction removed it from the back of a piece of artwork. It had been used as a backer board and was going to be thrown away. Click on photo to enlarge. It clearly shows the name of a photographer and is marked "Tampico, Ill." I am sure there is a family somewhere that would love a copy of this photo. The presence of buggies to the left would indicate an early date as would the clothing.
Perhaps you can indentify the house or people in the photo. I can send a better quality image if necessary but am sending a low quality one to save bandwidth. Helen Edwards Victoria, BC Note: It was taken by Lamon Photography who was here in early 1900's.

Ta-Dah! I found the photo, along with the names in photo on Chris Walter's Genealogy Trails/Whiteside site: She has given her permission to reprint the names here, but I would also like to link back to her site as she has a wonderful biography on the family and a nice diagram that better explains the people in the picure. Here are the names: Contributed by Bill Lappenbush POPE FAMILY REUNION 1910 Whiteside County Illinois Many of the descendants of Abraham and Sarah Pope including family who had left the area years earlier, such as Emma Sadler and Fanny Turgoose from Victoria, B.C., Canada and Alex and Sarah Mumert from Kansas, attended this reunion.
