From appearances, the three leftmost men in the back row and the man sitting
on right end, sitting on the ground (front row) may be brothers.
Likewise the front row, left most, front row, 3rd person (hands clasped
about right leg) and back row, right most may be brothers.
No identities known for sure.

The man on the left, middle row, appears to be related to the leftmost
man, front row of the Camp Modoc photo. Also, the man wearing the black
bow tie in the back row, center, seems to resemble
J.G. Earhuff (dorothy's grandfather)

Back of above photo.
Either "92" or "02". Unclear if this is random scribbling, or a year.
|
 |
Definitely the "Camp Modoc" crew, with wives or girlfriends.

Unknown; the writing at the bottom of the back is simply too faint to read.

Text says "Auntie + Grandma". The young woman (Auntie)
certainly looks like the mom in the photo above of a woman and 4 children.

The man might be the same person as in the uniform a above.

Translation assistance by Ellen Perkins
Script is:
Til Anne Gregersen! Lad intet dig i Bonnen hindre
Til Fader tidt at ile hen; Jblandt die og da vil erindre
En dig oprigtag trofast Ven
Iver
(Hard to make out last name)
This is formal written Norwegian; the literal translation is:
Let nithin you in prayer prevent to Father often rush toward
Occasionally and and then remember One your sincer faithful friend.
Which translates to:
Let nothing prevent you from praying
Rush frequently to God. This will help you to keep in mind a faithful
steady friend. Iver(the friend being God)
Note:
Anne Gregersen married Ole Tostenson.

The photo on the right was inside the paper jacket, so what was seen is
the left column. All individuals unknown.
Pretty whimsical picture, though. Back row, left seems to be carrying a
rifle (possibly a cane), 2nd from left is holding a broom; 3rd from left
is holding a frothy cup (beer?). The barrel says "Milk on TAP".

Might this be a photo of Arendal? The blur in the foreground is presumably
a moving pedestrian (who wasn't willing to stay still for the long exposure)
