Women--societies and clubs

A studio photograph of a group of eleven women in Georgetown, Colorado. It is unclear if all the women were part of the Young Ladies Literary Club, or just those labeled (see the image of the back of the photograph). The names of the women are listed on the back of the photograph: Adelaide Price; Fannie Owens; Annie Hancock; Bessie Perrin; Addie McCreedy; Lillie Hamill; Hattie Reynolds; Mattie Bruce (sister of the Bruce Brothers); Ella McCreedy; Susie Fisher; and Esther Hancock (Esther Hancock Junior lives in Denver).

The name of Louis Keck, a merchant in Georgetown from about 1887-1904, is written on the back of many of these photographs. It is unclear if he was the owner of these photographs, was the one who labeled them (or had copies that someone reproduced these labels from), or was the photographer (though some are on mounts of George Dalgleish, who was likely the photographer of many of them).
