Button Family, Summer 1922, Troutcreek, Montana;  Left to right:  Myrtle Gunther (child in doorway from a neighbor homesteader family), Sophia (Cornel) Button (seated), Edris Button, Sarah Caroline (Codding) Button (standing, holding child), Nettie Button (child in mothers arms), Edward Dealy Button (with dog), Samuel Edward Button, and Pearle Button. Nettie Button (young child in this photo)  married Harold Shortrridge.

Taken about 1889;  “Buff” Wylie, Gary Porter, Sam Button.   (Note:   This would be Samuel Edward Button, the father of Nettie Belle Button (Shortridge) during the time of his War service.)

The Codding Family.  The original photo was labeled on the back with: “Nettie's Grandparents, Mother Sarah and Minnie”   Thus, (left to right): George Bradley Codding, Elmira (Mould) Codding, Sarah Caroline Codding, and Minnie M. Codding.  The identification of Minnie (and perhaps Sarah) is questionable because the age of the girl in the photo doesn't seem to match the presumed age of Minnie when the photo would have been taken (circa late 1800-early 1900).

George Bradley Codding.  Photo probably taken in the early 1900's.
