 The name under the twenty-seventh photo in the album looks to be Lunette Tyler. I've looked in my database, online, and in a Tyler family history and cannot find a woman named Lunette, or anything close in the family, much less someone likely born in the 1850s or 1860s.

The twenty-fifth photograph in the album is identified as Mrs. Henry Knight.

There was a Henry Knight living in Manchester from at least 1870 through at least 1910. It is possible that the photograph is of the wife of the Henry Knight of Manchester.  If so, then this is Mary Elizabeth (Gifford) Knight, daughter of Jeptha Fuller Gifford and Louisa Mogridge. Mary Elizabeth was born 1 May 1846 in Pennsylvania, and died on 29 June 1916 in Buckingham, Wayne County. She married Henry S Knight (1841-1913) before 1870.

 The twenty-first photo in the album is Lou Ross and I have no idea who she is. Best guess, a daughter or granddaughter of one of Mary Ellen Ross' paternal half brothers. If that's who she is, she is not someone I can't identify. I searched for female Ross children whose name begins with L in the 1870 and 1880 census and didn't find anyone who was a good match. So for the time being - I don't know who Lou Ross is or how she is connected to Lucas W and Mary Ellen (Ross) Hankins.  About the  Hankins/Ross Photo Album Previous Photo in the Album: Howard Ross Hankins Next Photograph in the Album: Howard Ross Hankins

Loretta's 1897 death notice in a local paper only mentions an infant a few weeks old.  Loretta F (Teeple) Cregier died about 1 April 1897 near Bethel, Sullivan County, New York.  More research is needed on Loretta and her children.
