Henry Wolfe's wedding photo - seated Bride-Agnes Koch, her mother, father and brother.
Standing Henry Wolfe, brother William, next MAY be Henry's mother Elizabeth, which would make last female standing his sister Mary
I'm not sure about two women standing but I believe since this is a Family Wedding Photo, then they might be Henry's Mother and sister.
