The photography studio is Blair, in Rock Rapids, Iowa. Looking at a map, this location is in the very upper left of Iowa, bordering Minnesota. Possibly Lyon County. About 20 miles east of the South Dakota border. Closest city is Sioux Falls, SD. This bearded man may occur in other photos, see the tin types page.

May Mars Tompkins and twin boys, possibly her brothers. The photography studio is The National Photographic View Co, W. O. Long, G. W. Heppner, No. 339 East 34th Street, New York. I believe this girl is May Mars, daughter of J H Mars and Elizabeth. If it is, this photo would be about 1890, based on her birth of 1880. And if it is May Mars this associates her with the twins, unkown at this time what the relationship was. Perhaps then, the twins born abt.1885.

This photo is a closeup of the large 50 person group photo taken at The Vista, NY. Possibly dated abt. 1915. These two men on left look like twins. Unkown. The large pic is vista.jpg . And there is a page of Closeups of The Vista NY group family photo .

Closeup from car group shot . There are other family photos that place at least one of these men with Marion and Willie Tompkins. Are these the same twins in the photo above at the Vista NY?

This is a photo postcard which says Luna Park, Coney Island on the back. Location is NY. Shows what looks like a set of twin girls. Judging from Marion's age, it could be from abt. 1913. Marion was b. in 1906.
