The easy ones to figure out have already been posted. Here are a few more that I have tried to decipher.
I believe that this may be Peter Wise and the two daughters that he had with Jeanette Langford, Delia and Mary. I think this because it was taken in Clinton, Iowa, and the ages look about right. Jeanette and Peter also had a son, James Henry Wise, and it is possible that this is a picture of the three children. I am not very good at estimating ages.
Here is another picture that was labelled with only Wise on the back. It was taken in Winona, Minnesota, which makes it unusual.
Another picture which I think I have figured out is below.This was taken by a photographer in Boone, Iowa. The only Langford family to reside in Boone were descendants of Jane Langford and Merritt Allen. Their daughter Mary married MJ Mann and had several children.
This I believe is their son, Harry Mann. He can be found living in Boone from 1910 or earlier until 1940.
He and his wife Cora had two daughters, Neve and Dolly. The pictures below were all taken in Boone as well and may be their children at various ages:
And the three pictures below were all taken in Clinton or Lyons, Iowa. They are almost certainly relations of the Langfords in some way.
Lovely photos, interesting blog. If you often scan photographs and have an iPhone or iPad, the photo digitization app Pic Scanner is a huge effort-saver. See https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pic-scanner/id644278663
