The 4th photograph is one of Alice BLAIR and Florence BLAIR CROSS which was taken at the Barr Studio in Winona, MN sometime in the 1890's. The two children in this photograph appear to be about 2-5 years old at the time it was taken. The final photograph is one of the BLAIR Family including Burr Deuel BLAIR, his daughter Alice H. BLAIR MEYER, Ernest D. BLAIR, their Mother Clara BLAIR, and Burr B. BLAIR. The three children range in age from about 5 year to early teens and the parents likely in their 40's.
