Print made in Sandwich, Illinois, but the original photo may have been made elsewhere, as Emeline Cox was assembling these images for her daughter Alice. The woman's clothes date from 1855-60. This couple appear to have 2 daughters. This is probably an early photo of A.M. Cox and Emeline, with the first of their eventual 4 children to survive to adulthood, namely Maria (or Mary or Emma) and Ella. Note that Maria was born in 1850, and Ella in 1855, a difference of 5 years; the children in this photo appear to be about 6 and 1 years old. See Mary as a woman? See Marie's obituary?
Emeline apparently bore two earlier sons who died in infancy.
