| William Walter Landis with horse Pal est. 1905. (images repaired) | ||||

| Left photo concealed in frame behind right photo. Woman's identity uncertain but probably William's sister Louise (est. 1904). Right photo (est 1912) probably William Walter Landis (right) with father, John William Landis, at Hinsdale home. | ||||

| Edmund Landis (Sr) about 1880. This man died in 1881, six years before William was born, but he may have achieved mythogical status in William's mind. A similar photo occurs in the Cox family album, and he is shown about 1880 outside his Chicago office in Carroll's scrapbook. Neither his wife, William's paternal grandmother, Hannah Potter (Robinson) Landis , nor either of William's maternal grandparents were part of this set of desk photos. |

| Alice Louise (Cox) Landis, William's mother. Compare this side view of Alice with a similar view of her sister Maria. | |
