Family history work - I'm on a mission

I am now on a mission to gather family history from my elder living relatives.  To my joy, my grandmother pulled out a couple of old cherished photos of her mother and grandmother.  I quickly pulled up my iPhone and took a copy. 

My grandmother May Ann Henriksson is to the left and her mother in the middle.  Next to them were two neighborhood children.  Can't wait to ask more questions about this picture.

Here is my grandmother's grandmother.  She was a widow at an early age and here is her eldest son. Mary Ann belives her father is about 7 here.  He is now in charge of his siblings.  The clothes they are wearing were lent them.  They were very poor and had very little.
