Mother Lupton in Minturn
From the verso: "Mother Lupton in Minturn." It's possible that this is Alice Lupton. Alice was born in Arkansas in October of 1856. She married John William 'Bill" Lupton in July of 1871/2 (there are conflicting dates). They moved to the area in the 1880s and settled in Gypsum. For a time however, it appears they resided in Minturn as Bill had accepted a job as a special officer for the Rio Grande Railroad at Minturn. Bill passed away in 1940 at the age of 92. Alice passed away in 1947 at the age of 90
