From Andy:  My great-great grandparents, Gottfried Meyer (1813-1899) and Florentine Riemes (1820-1909), settled around the Blue Hill area in the 1870s, and I am working on an extensive photo archive project of them and their descendants.  Many still live in the Blue Hill area.

 

A note on the back of these pictures attached indicate that they were taken at the Blue Hill Opera House, and we believe they are from around 1880.  The pictures are the first to appear in an important and historic family photo album.  They are followed by many family members we have identified, so we believe they are part of the family.  Nevertheless, none of Gottfried and Florentine's descendants have been unable to identify the people in these pictures. 

 

Would you be able to post them on your site to see if anyone happens to recognize them from a similar old photo they have?   Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
