& Sarah Elizabeth "Bessie" Watson (Anderson)
These are my great-grandparents on the porch of their home near Hawkinsville, Georgia. My guess is that this was in the 1930's judging by age. My grandfather was probably born in this house and lived in it for 14 years. The house no longer exists, but its former location is known.
This is a picture of my 3-greats grandmother, Anna Eleanor Cunningham. Judging by how old she looks, I would say that this picture was taken about 1870, when she would have been about 31. She emigrated from Ireland with her parents in about 1849 to escape the infamous potato famine, settling in Mobile County, Alabama. Her first husband, Joseph Riley Curtis, my 3-greats grandfather, died in the Civil War after only 4 years of marriage. She later married a Mahan, possibly moving from her home in Cahaba in Dallas County to Brierfield in Bibb County.

& Evelyn Chrystobel Powell (Anderson)
This is my grandmother and her sister with their mother around 1925. My grandmother and her sister lived with their aunts and grandparents after her parents divorced about 1917. From what I am told, this must have been a rare visit from their mother, who had many better things to do.
This is my great aunt in a goat cart in the late 1910's, most likely in her grandmother's large garden. Notice the brick under the wheel to keep it from rolling or being carried away by the goat.
& Anna Eleanor "Bushie" Powell (Bagby) (Selby)
This picture, from about the mid-1920's, shows my grandmother, on the left, with her sister. They are obviously going swimming. Swimsuits have sure come a long way since then. This is thought to have been taken near Brierfield, Alabama, where they would often take day-long trips.

This is my grandfather, probably from around the end of World War I, judging by the fact that he is in uniform and saluting. I guess his parents dressed him up for this shot.
