Frederick Henry Britton's daughter - which one?

On the back written:

Blind uncles girl

Fred Britton

stone blind



Britton Family

On the back is written:

Liz, Fred [left to right]

Uncle Fred & Joe

blind [referring to Fred and] deaf [referring to Joe]

Not quite sure who Liz is. Fred could be Frederick Henry Britton and Joe could be Joseph Moroni Britton. The photo above is faded, there is a man on the right hand side.

Frank King Shelton (1909-1911)

On the back of this photo-postcard, someone hand wrote "Sadies boy Frank". Also on the back is printed:

ALSEEN STUDIO,
69 EAST 2nd SO.
SALT LAKE CITY

Bob Shelton Girl? Unsure.

Written on the back: Bob Shelton girl?

If so, which one? Not sure about this...

Frank King Shelton (1909-1911)?

On the back of this is written: Sadie's boy died; Sadie + Bob Shelton.

Thinking that Sadie and Bob Shelton are George Robert Shelton and Sarah Julian King. One of their sons died young, Frank King Shelton.

Britton Women

On the back of the photo the following names were written:

[back row, l-r] Caroline Almira Britton; Aunt Harriet Leatham; Aunt Susan Staples
[front row, l-r] [nothing written for this woman]; Grandmother Shelton

Due to someone else's helpful input and other's photos posted on ancestry.com, I was able to come up with names for the individuals as follows:

[back row, l-r] Caroline Almira Britton Shelton; Harriet Matilda Britton Leatham; Susanna Bayliss Britton Staples
[front row, l-r] Mary Britton Loveless; Sarah Amelia Britton Wooten

Unsure About This Photo

On the back someone wrote "Sadie & Doug". Maybe Sadie refers to Sarah Julian King Shelton and Doug would be her son Robert Douglas Shelton. But, the little one is wearing a dress. Did little boys wear dresses? Also on the back are notes of some history written by Lynard Bowers probably told to him by his father Leo Clifford Bowers:

"later they built porch on right

had Alzimer's disease or something

set her on rocker and she would stay

Uncle Bob

freight line - team of horses next street

....good man

heavy wagon

daughter - Emma"

Hypothesis right now is that the home belonged to George Robert Shelton and Sarah Julian King... any input?

Paul Leroy Shelton (1911-1933)

Paul Leroy Shelton's parents are George Robert Shelton and Sarah Julian King.

Martha Pearl Jepson (1911-1975)

The woman is Martha Pearl Jepson. Her parents are Alexander Andrew Jepson and Susannah Pearl Shelton. Martha's husband is Henry Joseph Gras. Not sure who the man is in the photo, possibly her husband?

Shelton Children

Do you know who these children are?

Old Candy Dish

An old candy dish brought over from England with the Shelton family? Does anyone know where this is?

The Children of George Slowther Shelton and Caroline Almira Britton (circa 1889)

This is a copy; I do not have the original. Someone typed the names onto the photo. The only name that I question is the oldest girl in the middle. She is listed as the mother "Caroline Almira Britton Shelton (1853-1921)". I believe it should be the daughter Caroline Isabella Shelton (1875-1958).
