The following photos were found in a steamer
trunk belonging to my Grandmother, Bertha Ellen Hamilton Ferguson, who died in 1958.
She was born in Webster County, Mississippi in 1889. If you are a descendant of
Charles Holland, Abraham Ferguson, George F. Hamilton, Uriah Stallings, John M. Shaffer,
or any of their spouses which include the surnames of Hughes, Foster, Fulgham, Boothe, and
Smith, please look at the photos below. My Mother, who is 87 years old has
identified many of the photos found in the trunk but the ones below are a mystery to
us. If you need a larger version of the photo, just click on it. We have many
more unidentified pictures and will be removing and adding as we identify them. Email me if you are able to identify the
location or people.

This picture is printed on glass. The
coating on the back has rubbed off in several places making it difficult to enhance the
image. A nice looking young man -- wonder who he is?
|
This is a really nice looking
family. My Mother does not recognize the house or the people. The picture is
quite old and probably was taken before 1900. The picture appears to have been glued
to heavy card stock. Can anyone identify these people or their home?
|
We
actually have two different pictures of this handsome young man. He is dressed
similarly in the other picture. Does anyone recognize him?
|
Are these young men
brothers? This was a very small picture. There are no markings on this picture
to indicate the time frame. Can you identify either of these young men?
|
This impressive young couple's picture is a
tintype. It was difficult to lighten so the features of each person could be seen
but I believe if you click on the image to enlarge it you will be able to see both faces
well enough to recognize them if you have other pictures of them. Hope someone can
put names on these lovely faces!

This picture has names written on
each of the men's shirts. From left, they are Will, Dart, and William. The
back side of the picture is a post card and was addressed to Miss Bertha Hamilton in
Mathieston, Miss. It appears that it may have been sent by Eldie Fulgham, making us
believe that the men in the picture are relatives of Uncle Ed and Aunt Mattie Fulgham who
were living in Bellville, TX. Can anyone confirm the identity of these men?

Please
let me know if you are able to help identify any of these people.
