It is our guess that that particular picture was made in approximately 1915. We are basing that on the dates of birth of the children in the picture. They are dressed in clothes suitable for hot weather - so a guess would be about the summer of 1915. JJE, Sr. was born April 1878. So he would have been about 37.Beverly Espy Dayriesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610556516641268883.post-13190743177653004442015-08-13T15:01:00.991-04:002015-08-13T15:01:00.991-04:00These are fabulous--thanks for sharing.

Her husband Cary (or Carey) Solomon Hooks from Montezuma, GA, was a cousin of my mother's. Both are now deceased. They had no children but were close to some of her nephews and/or nieces. They had lived in Cobb County, GA, not too far from our house.Beverly Espy Dayriesnoreply@blogger.com
