I can connect most of the people in the photo. John & Eliza (BAKER) Collins are my gggrandparents. Charley & Ned (Edward) are probably brothers of John. At least I think Ned is Edward as John had a brother named Edward who was blinded and lost a hand in a mining accident in Colordao. Their sister was Harriet COLLINS Hosking (and later Thomas) who had a daughter Josephine. I have a copy of an obituary for Harriet COLLINS Hosking Thomas that also states she left a granddaughter Mrs. Bernice Winkee of Seattle. Is that your husband's grandmother? If so then the Collins were her mother's aunts and uncles. I do have more information on this family if you would like. I was left a scrapbook of Ceclia COLLINS Clemo daughter of John & Eliza Collins and there are several interesting articles in it. Anna Collins in the picture was probably a daughter of John & Eliza she married E.A. LaPeire.
