- There is an index page with the names Bertha, Walter, Mary, James, Hatty and Bertha F Buchanan.
- The index page also includes some numbers which appear to refer to the year1885.
- The album contains tintypes and portraits that appear to be from the that time frame.
- Some of the portraits have the photographer's name and place printed on them.
- The portraits which have places are from Indiana and Illinois.
- Pasadena was founded by a group of settlers from Indiana.
Karen stated that Mr. Wise was married in 1968 and is listed on the 1870 census as a photographer with his wife and baby son. I discovered a possible listing for his death on Find A Grave in 1871.

Therefore, it seems likely that these photos may have been taken before 1871 but I still don't know who they are.
