Just for fun, let's see how many of these photos of early Christian Scientists can be identified. To be sure, this is not an easy task since some of them are somewhat obscure, but all of them knew Mrs. Eddy. Enjoy! (In a day or two, I will give the initials of the individuals whose photos have not yet been identified.)

From memory. I'll see if I can get more later when I have time.

Only Joseph Armstrong is correct, and an editorial note: the number is ABOVE the photo, so Armstrong is really number 4. As I said, these are difficult.

Good job, Barry. #7 is indeed a relatively young Augusta Stetson. Now only four to go.

Keith,
Is there a way to contact you off the blog?
I have a couple of questions about some old CS publications.
Thanks,
Barry

Are you sure about #11?
Posted by: Calvin A. Frye | 08/24/2010 at 06:49 AM
I will double check my notes. Perhaps my copy of the photo was misidentified. If you have a photo of her by chance, please send it along. Thanks,
Keith

Might it be Martha Harris Bogue, not Blanche Hersey Bogue?
Posted by: Calvin A. Frye | 08/24/2010 at 08:46 PM
I need sharp-eyed and expert commenters to keep me on the strait and narrow. I checked my photo and it was indeed Martha Harris Bogue. I confused the two in my mind as I prepared the post. Thanks, Calvin, for pointing out that error.
