Dating photos by looking at clothes in photo

I have found some amazing photos that seem to have belonged to my grandmother, Clara Margaret Hornberger Sammons.  Almost certainly these photos were taken in the area in and around Ironton where Grandmother grew up and later taught.  She lived there until she married Forest.

As I try to find any identification at all, I am reading some sites that help one identify the era by the clothes being worn in the photo.  Here are some of the sites:
