who are these people?

 They live in a tatty blue velvet covered album. All but a couple loose pictures were made at Sparhawk's Studio in West Randolph, Vt. The people seem to be of an era and mostly of a generation,  so I wonder whether this album was like a look book for the studio. In any case, this is one of the perils of cleaning up my bookcases. I checked on eBay and there is one similar photograph for sale. Then I emailed the Randolph Historical Society to see if they might want it. It would have been far easier to consign these folk to the dumpster.  I just couldn't.
