Here's one more. These are the reason I got a scanner and PSE. I have dozens more scans done and in need of retouching. 
Standing woman is my grandmother. Baby is my mom, her age here dates the photo to about 1917. Young girl is grandma's sister, seated woman is grandma's aunt-by-marriage.
Second photo was straightened, cropped, color removed, orange spots cloned out, brightness/contrast adjusted, then sepia effect added.
Edited to add another version after some burning. Did not like the results of the burning of faces, except for the seated woman. On my grandmother and her sisters faces it looked splotchy, in spite of several attempts to do it over.
However, I don't know how I missed this earlier, both sides of the photo and partway across the top looked underexposed when I revisited the full size photo. It almost looked like an irregularly shaped vignette, and not an attractive one. I burned those areas to bring them more in line with the rest of the background.
Here is this try:
