Can you help to identify any of these people?! If you can identify any of the following photos, email me and I will post the names next to the photograph. If you have photos you'd like identified, send them to me in .jpg format and I will add them to this page.
Photos were sent in by Diana Wyatt (garnetpinoak.hotmail.com). The photos were in her father's (Ray Smith) collection when he passed away in 1991. She thought someone might recognize them.

These photos were sent in by Donna O'Brien. If you can identify any of these people, please let her know!
(We think they were probably taken in Gruetli-Laager or near the Grundy/Marion border and/or Fiery Gizzard.)
(Young man on the far left (kneeling down) is William Carroll Harris. Young woman on the far right (sitting on the ground, hat in her lap) is Mary "Mollie" Mabee Richmond (wife of Will C. Harris). Our Richmond family was from Monteagle, so this photo could be some of them also.

This is my mystery picture , his name is Lawrence -------? on the back of the picture it has Lawrence M or Lawrence N ? I don't know who he is but I'm hoping he is someones grandfather and will reconize him. Thanks Earlene Bryant

I believe this young woman is related somehow on my mother's side, which would mean a Griswold or Morton connection, but I don't know who she is. She has a strong family resemblance to both me and my niece, though, when we were younger, and I'm quite curious to place her on our family tree. The original photograph looks like there has been dark ink smeared on her hair.
Thanks!

I know how happy it makes me to get more pictures of family, so I always like to share when I can. I got through the rest of that box, but there weren't anymore outside our family members. I do have a few that were not marked (3 unknowns). I have another that is cut off, but what I can read says, "Bessie Speegle - 1947." I'm not sure if they're Grundy, Franklin or Marion county people, but if you could post them on your website maybe someone will know who they are.
Unknown 1 - IDENTIFIED as R.B. Cox and son Wayne and daughter Ellen of Pelham

This one was sent in by Gwen Rowe . Since she used to live in Monteagle, they may possibly be a Thomas or Bennett family relative. Does anyone recognize them? IDENTIFIED as Elmer "Ninny" Gipson, his wife Dicie Jane Rollins Gipson and son Jack Gipson of Monteagle.
