This is Andrew Douglas, photo taken in Columbus,
Muscogee Co., Georgia. The photographer was G.T. Williams of 81
Broad Street, upstairs. |
Small child standing on a boulder, next to a wooden
fence structure. The photo was taken by Van Riper of
Columbus, Georgia. |
Older gentleman, possibly 50-60 years old [more or
less]. Photo taken by Van Riper of Columbus, Georgia. |
Written on the back of this photo is "Aunt Lucy",
it is a photo of an infant, and also on the back is the photographer's
logo: "Artistic Photography, S.M. FASSETT. 114
South Clark St. CHICAGO, Ills." A couple of other photos were
addressed to Aunt Lucy, so it is unknown if this is a picture of
her, or merely another one addressed to her. |
"Raphael" was written on the album page, and on
this photo. I do not know whether this is an actual family member,
or merely a "filler photo", like you would find in a picture frame or
wallet when you buy one. |
The worst tintype in the group. Photo is of an
infant in a dressing gown, propped in a chair. |
Walter
C. Wilson is pictured to your left, and according to the writing on the
back of the photo he was 18 months old by 27 January 1881. The photo was
taken in Atlanta, Georgia, by Kullins of Whitehall Street, and in the 1880
census you will find young Walter with his parents and grandparents.
According to this census his father was John C. Wilson, mother was May
C. Wilson, and his grandparents were Steinbeck & Mattie E. Wilson.
An uncle was also living there, Arthur Wilson. They were all living
on South Pryor in Fulton County, Georgia. |
Photo of a young girl, with a very sour expression,
clearly wasn't happy about having her photo taken. From all
appearances she may be just a toddler, no more than 3 years old.
This photograph was taken in Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois by A. Hesler

Leona
F. Hackney written on the front, photo taken by A.T. Walker of
Greenville Street in Newman, Georgia. She can be found in the 1880
Coweta Co., Georgia census with her father Rhod, mother Hattie
D., and a sister Annie D. Next door to them is another
Hackney family, quite possibly her grandmother. Leona was
12 years old in this census, and from looking at the photo she may be just
a little younger than that, possibly 5 to 8 years of age, placing this
photo in the 1873-1876 range. |

This
is a scan of one of the album pages that had writing on it, but is
illegible by me. One of the lettered photos below may have belonged
in this page. |
Gentleman of about 30-40 years of age. This is
just a slip of paper, the backing has fallen off, an extra backing was
found in the album, but I am not sure if it belongs to this photo.
The photographer on the backing was Moore & Co. of Columbus,
Georgia. Looking closely at this photo, you will notice that this
gentleman is holding a book. That book is identical to the photo
album these photos came out of. |

Do not believe that this is a family member, quite
possibly it's a "filler photo" like you would find upon purchasing a
wallet or picture frame.
