OLIVIA GUMMERSON and ANNA BERQUISTDenver Colorado,
photo taken circa 1895-1900
UPDATE - This photo has been claimed by a grandson of Anna Berquist, and is going home!
I am not entirely certain who is who, but based on the location of the names on the back of the photo, I surmise that the woman on the right is Anna Berquist and the woman on the left is Olivia Gummerson.

Ancestry.com has a Berquist fanily tree which shows that Charles Alfred Berquist (1874 MI - 1923 CO) was married to Anna Wilhelmina Andersson of Sweden (1880 - 1956.) She is a daughter of Karl Andersson and Christina Kajsa Andersdotter. She died 18 Dec 1956 in Grand Rapids Michigan.
Son Wesley Charles BERQUIST (1906-1976) worked as a bank clerk in Grand Rapids Michigan and married Evelyn Gertrude Sprick (daughter of Henry Sprick and Christine Pleune) in 1935. They had sons Paul and Phillip.
As for OLIVIA GUMMERSON, I am not able to find any information yet for her.
