Photos for family of George Earl Graham (1892-1966) & Ann Hazel Dodge (1896-1961)

My grandfather passed away recently. I was going through some of his effects and came across a number of pictures that I didn't know he had. They are pictures of his dad's sister, Ann (Dodge) Graham and her family. There are 25 pictures in all. They are pictures of Ann Hazel (Dodge) Graham (1896-1961) and her husband George Earl Graham (1892-1966) and their daughter, Virginia Rose (Graham) DeMark (1917-1991) and her husband, Don D. DeMark (1906-1991). They lived most of their lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Most of these pictures are not dated. Here is the treasure trove below:

I also found another picture I didn't know my grandfather had. He had this photo tucked away among effects that belonged to his mother. This picture is of his dad's sister Frances Cleveland (Dodge) Nemetzky (1888-1955) and her husband David Nemetzky (1888-1947). I have a few other pictures of Frances, but none are this good. I also never expected to come across a picture of Frances' husband. Included in this picture are Frances (on the left), her husband David Nemetzky, my great-grandmother Alice (Lemoine) Dodge, my grandfather, Bob Dodge (on the right) and his brother, Alfred. This was taken in San Francisco, where Frances & David lived.
