These are called Memento Mori, and would probably the only photograph of the deceased, because at the time photography was still new thus expensive. These Memento's would be passed around to family members who may not have ever met the deceased person.

Recuerden q antes se creia que la fotografia guardaba o robaba el alma de aquel q se le fotografiaba, asi q me imagino q lo hacian creyendo q esa foto tendrian el alma de su ser querido.

I suppose if you don't have any good photos of 'em while they're alive, eh?
It is kinda' interesting to look at these though, in a somewhat morbid way.
The little kid on the rocking horse is strange... looks like a full on zombie-baby!
