"Gollaher" Woman 1 From Tooele DUP There are no markings on the front or back of this carte de visite. Possible IDs: Elizabeth Orton (Gollaher) Isabella Miller (Gollaher) Frances Culbertson (Gollaher) This style of photography was most common during the 1860s but persisted much later in the century. This could also be a later copy of a daguerreotype (available in Great Salt Lake City by 1852). A note in the DUP scrapbook from which this photo was scanned reads as follows: "pg 28 left side- Elizabeth Orton married Wm Gollaher. Nancy Jane Gollaher (daughter) died on trail Winter Qtrs. Left bottom - Isabella Miller wife of James Monroe Sr." Elizabeth Orton Gollaher. This ID, the most likely of these three, is based on the note in the DUP scrapbook. (My notes seem to indicate this was on the bottom left of the page, though it may not have started out there.) Elizabeth would have been 42 or 43 in 1852 so is the right age for this to be a copy of a daguerreotype. (Elizabeth died in 1854.) Stiff poses were typical of daguerreotypes because of the long exposure times. Isabella Miller Gollaher. This ID again is based on the note in the DUP scrapbook. Isabella (1862-1932) married James Monroe Gollaher Jr. If we assume this woman is at least in her 30s, the photo would have to come from the 1890s, which seems very unlikely given the plain stock, plain backdrop, and probably clothing and hair styles. Frances Culbertson Gollaher. This ID comes from Michael Gollaher following Amy Fowler. Frances was born in 1783, so would have been in her 70s when this picture was taken if it's a copy of a daguerreotype, or in her 80s or older if it's a glass plate original. That seems too old to be the woman in this picture. If you can shed light on the identity of the woman in this photo, please contact the webmaster (see below).

"Gollaher" Woman 2 From Tooele DUP The woman in this photo closely resembles "Gollaher" Woman 1 in facial features. I am convinced they are the same person. Possible IDs: Elizabeth Orton (Gollaher) Isabella Miller (Gollaher) The front says "Hurd's Gallery." The back says "J.C. Brewster, Photographer, No. 140 South C Street, Virginia, Nevada, Views of Gold Hill, Virginia, and vicinities; also Chromos, albums, etc., on sale. Views of Mills, Mining Works, Dwellings, and Natural Scenery taken on short notice; Enameled Cards, Sunpearls made to order. All negatives preserved." As with the photo of "Gollaher" Woman 1, this could be a glass plate copy of a daguerreotype. The stiff standing pose beside a chair is reminiscent of daguerreotypes by Marsena Cannon, who worked in Great Salt Lake City in the early 1850s. (Often a wood frame was used to keep the subject still during the long exposure time.) Note also the similar fringe on the furnature in the two photos, which might be evidence they were made by the same photographer. The fact was made in a studio in Nevada after Elizabeth's death is not a problem if this is a copy made from a daguerreotype original. Elizabeth Orton Gollaher. This identification, the most likely, is based on the subject's resemblance to "Gollaher" Woman 1. See the notes there on the plausibility of this ID. Michael Gollaher, following Amy Fowler, also identifies this as Elizabeth Orton Gallaher. Isabella Miller Gollaher. Again, this is based on the resemblance to "Gollaher" Woman 1. The plainness of the card and backdrop make me think this was taken in the 1870s rather than later, which makes it unlikely this is Isabella. If you can shed light on the identity of the woman in this photo, please contact the webmaster (see below).

James Monroe Gollaher But which one? From Michael Gollaher Michael Gollaher says this is James Monroe Gollaher Sr. He says descendants of Joseph Tyson Gollaher have a copy and identify this as James Sr. (They are descendants of James Sr.'s brother.) And yet this individual bears a striking resemblance to James Monroe Gollaher Jr. See photo at right—note hair texture, hairline, eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheekbones, lower lip. Could this be the son instead of the father? James M. Sr. was born 25 Mar 1833, Clinton, DeWitt, Illinois. Had 3 wives. Died 13 Feb 1900 in Tooele. James M. Jr. was born 10 Sep 1857, Richville, Tooele, Utah. Died 24 Mar 1922, Tooele, Tooele, Utah. If you can confirm the identification or provide a better version, please contact the webmaster (see below).

Catharine Gollaher (Reputed) From Michael Gollaher I am not sure of the identity of Catherine, or if this is indeed her. If you can confirm the identification or provide a better version, please contact the webmaster (see below).	Unknown Girl 1 Courtesy Tooele DUP The note in the DUP scrapbook says: "pg 28 left side- Elizabeth Orton married Wm Gollaher. Nancy Jane Gollaher (daughter) died on trail Winter Qtrs. Left bottom - Isabella Miller wife of James Monroe Sr." From the position on the page, I assumed this note meant the girl was Nancy Jane Gollaher (1836-1846), but this photo could not have been made in 1846, as this type of photography had not been invented. It is unlikely that this is a photo of a daguerreotype because the set is too elaborate. Could this be Isabella Miller (1862-1932), wife of James Gollaher Jr.? The dates are plausible. If you have information on the girl in this photo, please contact the webmaster (see below).

Unknown Girl 2 Courtesy of Tooele DUP This photo was on the same page as some Gollaher photos in the Tooele DUP Scrapbook. If you have information on the girl in this photo, please contact the webmaster (see below).	Unknown Bride Courtesy of Tooele DUP This photo was on the same page as some Gollaher photos in the Tooele DUP Scrapbook. She looks somewhat reminiscent of the picture of Mary Rowberry (see main page). If you have information on the girl in this photo, please contact the webmaster (see below).	Unknown Young Woman Courtesy of Tooele DUP This photo, from the Tooele DUP scrapbook, has been identified as Elizabeth Orton Gollaher. She looks quite a bit like the woman in "Gollaher" Woman 1 and 2. However, the faces do not match as closely as those two pictures match each other. Also, the pose and backdrop are in a style common in the 1870s and 1880s, long after Elizabeth Orton Gollaher's 1854 death. I believe this might be another family member. If you have information on the girl in this photo, please contact the webmaster (see below).
