What I thought was identification of the subjects on the back turned out to be a mailing address to the person the photo was sent to. However, I am beginning to think the photo actually depicts the recipient and her immediate family, as genealogical clues appear to match so far.
Although no year is indicated, this appears to be circa 1916 to 1917 based on clothing.
This appears to be Jesse Edward EMERICK (1873-1949), son of Samuel H. Emerick and Mary Medaugh Hartzog. He was a farmer in Latty Township, Paulding County, Ohio.
His wife is Ellen Jane WRIGHT (1877-1950), daughter of Marcus E. Wright and Sarah Mills Lackey.
