These photos were in a photo album belonging to my aunt Dorothy (Dobie) Fraser. It must be that Mrs. Koller was a friend of hers, possibly from the University of Toronto, c. 1925. I've added a few genealogy records of this family.
Photos above are identified on the back of each print:
Top left: "John & Judy Koller

(Judy really isn't
bow-legged!)"
Top right: "John & Judith

Next left: "John Rubidge Koller

Next right: "Mary Rubidge Koller

Next left: "Judith Koller

The top two photos are identified on the back.
The bottom photo has no identification or date.

The people in the group photo are not identified, but they seem to be the same family.
