Thanks for stopping by.
Update from Iggy:

Their son, Joseph W Harpham (Jun 28, 1918 - Nov 28, 2003) attended Dartmouth College (Class of 1938). He was an airline pilot in the mid-1950s for Colonial Airlines, later Eastern Airlines. He died in Kennett Square, PA (actually, not far from me). I think his wife's name was Esteri. They had four children.
Photo Studio Update : Albert Grant Gowdy, a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I suspect this is a graduation photo - and I think this is Charles Leroy Harpham (Dec. 23, 1875 in Michigan - Dec. 15, 1951 in Albany, NY)

Just to verify my selection of Charles Leroy, I found the photo studio was run by Albert Grant Gowdy, a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
