Meet the Hanson Family.
There were many names and birthdates on the back. I did a little research…and linked a few names with the parents at Find A Grave. I was unsure that it was just one family but at Family Search I found the information that corresponded to what is on the back of the photos.

This is a Cabinet Card from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
Hedges Artists were the photographers at 7 Dicconson Terrace Clifton Square Lytham
This looks to be a Cabinet Card from the late 1860’s from the clothing. However it may be a reprint as according to the back of the photo the latest date is 1882.

This is a photo from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
A couple and a new baby.
The only clue we have is the name of the photographer. Thompson in Windom Minn. According to the Minnesota Historical Society a Jesse O Thompson was in business there in 1914 and 1926. This photo looks more likely to be from around 1926 to me.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thids is a photo from the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
Dora Behrens + family
Front Row: Emma, Dora, Frieda
Back Row: Bill (Bummy), Gus, Ted, Minnie
Thanks for stopping by.
Update from MJM:
I'm not sure this is the right family, but on the 1900 census a family living in Fairfield, Grundy County, Iowa seems likely.
W. H. Behrens, head, born 1876
Dora Behrens, mother, born 1856
Emma Behrens, daughter, born 1876
Freta Behrens, daughter, born 1879
Minnie Behrens, daughter, born 1886
Theodore Behrens, servant, born 1883
August Behrens, servant, born 1880
There seems to be several things on this census that are in error, so I am guessing that the two listed as servants are also family members.

George Jobes + family
Thanks for stopping by.
This is a possibility:
George Jobes, born 18 April 1868, Maple Grove, Hennepin county, Minnesota. Son of Bishop and Julian (Cline) Jobes. Died 25 August 1940 in Hennepin county. Married May 1892 to Annie May Martin, daughter of Stewart Martin and Sarah Pryor.
Info from Michael:
The photo includes George Jobes (son of Bishop Jobes and Julian Cline); standing behind his seated wife, Annie May Martin Jobes (daughter of Stewart Martin and Sarah Pryor). The children: Charles Wesley Jobes, standing next to George, He was born in 1891, and is that little boy, wearing that furred coat, that is also featured on your website. The little girl is Hazel Mae Jobes, born 1901. The little boy is Alvin Earl Jobes, born 1904. From the children's appearances, I would then judge the photograph to be dated sometime around 1907-1909.
