I’ve been trying to match the faces in these two photos taken several decades apart. Above is my best guess in matching the faces, which would make the sister on the far left of the younger photo Anna, who died at age 29.

***UPDATE: Glenn Hine reviewed this post and offered the following:

The 2 photo faces are a good match.The photo of 6 sisters is standing left to right, Anna (b.5/2/1871, d.11/18/1900 married Richard DeKock Anna died during birth of 2nd child); Tryntje/Kate (b. 2/28/1865 d. 11/9/1949, married Albert Hine and Miendart Knynsberg); Maageltje/Maggie (b. 4/13/1867 d. 9/14/1951, married Peter DeVos); Guurtje/Gertie (b. 8/8/1869, d. 12/27/1927, married John VanErden); seated left to right, Grietje (b. 1/26/1856, d. 4/26/1941, married John Nomes); Geertje (b. 1/25/1860, d. 1/14/1944, marriedPaul Tanis). The oldest son was Roel (b.5/30/1862, married Kate Heun). Born after Anna was Jacob (b.2/3/1873 d. 1873) and Jacob (b.8/8/1874 d. 1874)

Hope this clears up the Pictures for you, Uncle Glenn.
