As time goes on, it become harder and harder to track down just who is in any given photo. So one of the things I have been trying to do is get names to add to the faces of the dozens of photos I have collected before it is too late.
I have a list of people at the dedication. Eliminating who I know it wasn't (President Travis or Elder Callis) I am down to the following possibilities; Miles L. Jones, James M. Kirkham, W. W. Cliff, A. E. Stone, Andrew Jackson Talley, James Poole Talley, W. W. Pollock, and George Tom Talley. The first four are church officials, the last four are residents of the area.
So now for the home work. I am going to get a better print of the photo and she is going to did up some photos of the other people at the dedication.

I got nothin', Bruce -- but I have to say that as I googled around to look for pictures of these men for comparison, virtually everything I found on Google Images in connection with their names came from Amateur Mormon Historian! You da man where this whole field is concerned.
Thanks, Ardis. The sister in my ward who has some of these men's photos in her personal collection, said she has one of Elder Cliff holding her as a baby and another of Elder Stone as well. We may be down to only private collections that just haven't made it online.
Ooh! Wouldn't that be cool if there were a search engine that identified matches to photographs?! Then again, if there was only one photo out there, it wouldn't help much.
Anyhow, thanks for the post and best of luck!
Yes, David. that would be cool.
My wife has this software that identifies faces in her pictures and then lables them for her. It bases it on her already labled photos. Most of the time it gets it right.
