"New" Family Photos from FamilySearch.org

I've been enjoying uploading photos to FamilySearch.org lately, because you can tag them to identify the name of each person in a photograph, and you can link them to the individual on the pedigree so everyone can know for sure who is in the photo and how they are related.  I've posted and tagged several photos of my ancestors, but still have lots more to add.  But the cool thing is that I have come across several "new" photos of my direct ancestors (and others closely related to my direct ancestors) that other people have uploaded to FamilySearch.org that I've never seen before.  These have all been on my dad's side of the family, photos of my pioneer ancestor lines, but it's cool to find "new" photos of these people.  Here are some that I've found:

 
Two different photos of Elizabeth Patrick Taylor, my 6th great grandmother, 
(the only photo I'd seen of her before was when she was an older woman).  

 John Augusta Moore and Ida Nevada Levi Moore, my 3rd great grandparents.  
(I had seen similar photos to these before, but nothing of this quality).

Mariah Pulsipher Burgess, my 4th great grandmother.  (I love the detail in this photo).

Mary Ann Brown Pulsipher as a young woman, my 5th great grandmother.

Sarah Malinda Coleman Smith and Eugene Smith with their children, 
Madge Eugena Smith, Jay Coleman Smith, and Deama Smith about 1918.
Eugene Smith is the brother of my great grandma, Eliza Lucinda "Cindy" Smith Chidester, and I've never seen a photo of him or his family before (or any of Eliza's siblings, for that matter).  I love this photo!

Photos of William Smith and Mary Moss

And these are the other Smith photos from Gene Halverson. William Smith is my 2nd great grandfather, the eldest son of Jorgen Christiansen Smith and Mette Marie Villardsen Johannesen Smith. William Smith married Mary Moss. Both William and Mary were born in Utah, and both were children of Danish immigrants.

I love this picture of Mary Moss and William Smith with some of their grandchildren.

left to right: Jay Coleman Smith [son of Eugene Smith and Sarah Malinda Coleman], Mary Moss, Madge Eugenia Smith Huntsman [daughter of Eugene Smith and Sarah Coleman], Cleone Snow (front) [daughter of Ada Smith and John Snow], Cella Smith Coleman [daughter of William Cappie Smith and Ruby Perry], William Smith Chidester [son of Eliza Lucinda Smith and James Parker Chidester], William Smith, & Deama Smith [daughter of Eugene Smith and Sarah Coleman].  Guessing from the ages of the babies, this picture was taken around the spring or summer of 1918.  (The baby in William Smith's arms, William Smith Chidester (who went by Smith), was the eldest brother of my grandfather, John Leo Chidester).

 
And these last two are of James Andrew Smith, a younger brother of William Smith
