Dana B. Merrill was a noted American photographer whose prints are still on sale today. I researched him based on the name and the N.H. in pencil I figured is New Hampshire.
I missed out on this one to get another, but it is well worth adding to this site. The gentleman is wearing a very high collar, and this looks like their wedding picture.
1909 Fraternity boy (?) Private collection.
This one did not scan well. The process made the dark parts look like silver, so I toyed with it some. Does anyone out there know the pin he’s wearing? I’m guessing a fraternity by other examples I’ve seen.
An adult wrote the date on the back in pencil, then below it a toddler (I strongly assume) wrote it again, also in pencil. :)

This man is so ‘pretty’ he looks like a doll. His wide eyes stare into the distance while the women are looking directly into the camera.
Jewish boy. Private Collection.
This lovely boy is wearing a double breasted knickerbocker suit with his Kipa. The pose is fantastic.
