I have a bag of photos pulled from an album. And I cannot remember where I got them. In any case, most are unnamed. There are two exceptions. The first is from the Smith & Price studio of Traverse City, in operation from 1900 to 1925.
On the back is marked "H. C. Tripp." I wondered if it was a class photo. I remembered that Ancestry has scanned many Traverse City yearbooks (U.S., School Yearbooks, 1900-2016). I searched "Tripp" and there he was, in the 1900, Vice President of the Sophomore class.
