I would like some help identifying the individuals in this photograph.
The woman is strongly believed to be Angeline Sweet Williams, born 1825, died unknown, wife of Philander Williams, 1818-1894. Philander and Angeline Williams lived in New Hudson.

Philander and Angeline's daughter Adeline married Henry Fuller. Henry and Adeline had sons Charlie and Dorr, and daughters Maude and May, also
known as Tota. May Fuller married Walter Hillman of the
Freedom/Farmersville area, and later Caneadea.

(I have several photos
of the Fuller and Hillman families. If anyone is interested, please
email me).

Any help identifying these gentlemen will be greatly appreciated.

If you can help identify these outstanding citizens, please Email: -

This 1912 photograph was originally owned by Charles Richard Gardner and now by his granddaughter, Heather Corson who shared it with us.  The photo was also shared by Mr. Gardner at one time for a Pennysaver viewing. 

 From a clipping at the Rogers Historical Society we find the names are as follows: Top Row-Gene Hamilton, Paul Hanks, Richard Gardner; Row 3-Walter Arnold, Carl Bergeson, Frank Arnold, Marion Belisle, Anna Hamilton, Walter Boyd, Charles Gardner, Frank Fowler; Row 2-A. Riggs, B. Hazzard, Ed Mack, W. Crandall, Chat Fanton, Gillett; Front Row-A. Johnson, Ham Meissner, Albert Bergen, Albert Weitrick.  It is belief of our Historian Friend, Jane Pinney, that the Concert Band soon after became the Christian Temple Concert Band.  In 1913 a Wellsville Newspaper account names the “Temple Concert Band” as performing.
