Margaret Moore Latimer (1869-1954) was a civic leader and a prominent woman in Seattle and King County. In 1890, Margaret Moore married Norval Latimer, a Seattle businessman who was important in rebuilding the city after the Seattle Fire of 1889. Margaret and Norval had three children: Arthur, Chester, and Earl. Norval was the son of William G. Latimer, one of the early settlers who came across the Oregon Trail. He became a prominent realtor and, later in 1887, treasurer of King County. Margaret's father Elias Brittan Moore, and mother Judith Cox Moore, had three other children: Judith, Wally, Myrtle, and George. Margaret was friends with Anna Mary Chilberg, who was the wife of John Edward Chilberg and the daughter of W.V. Rinehart, a Malheur Indian Agent, a city council member, and mayor of Seattle.

The album was created by Margaret Moore probably during 1885-1890. It contains a note that says that the album is of "my friends when I was first married." It was presented to "Susan" in 1947. This may have been Susan Callahan Champness who transcribed Latimer's diary. Margaret Moore married Normal Latimer in 1890.

The album contains portrait photographs of Margaret Moore Latimer's family and friends among them, Normal Latimer, E.B. Moore and other Moore family members, Mayor W. V. Rinehart (a Malheur Indian agent and Seattle mayor), Anna and J. Edward Chilberg, Mabel Chilberg (J. Edward's sister), Elmer and Vinnie Cassel, Lulu Cooper Kellogg, John and Edith Beam Park, and others. Her family photographs include her mother, father, grandmother, and siblings
