This is a re-post of a posting from 2001. I have a new address and may have missed any replies to the original. The original post is as follows:
I have several old photos that might be of interest to some Dale Co researchers. I estimate they were taken around 1910. One is of a family named HERRING. On the back of the original was written "Mrs. Herring and family, living on the Robertson place, Grimes, Ala - Neighbors". They must have been neigbors to my GF Moses Jeter BALDWIN. Another is of the family of John and Joan BABSTON. I believe Joan to be a half sister to Charles P. BRANNAN. Writing on back indicated the photo may have been taken in Texas. Another is a school group photo with my uncles B. C. and Moses Shofner BALDWIN and aunt Ida BALDWIN identified along with Wilmer DOMINY and Miss Willie ADAMS. Wilmer and Miss Willie appear to be teachers. Another is identified as a group picture of students at Lewis School at Christian Hill. Those identified are Lem SNELL, Foster PRESTON, and uncles B. C. and Moses Shofner BALDWIN. Another is a large group of people, either a family or maybe a church group, with B. C. , Moses Shofner and Ida BALDWIN identified along with Zina HERRING. The oldest photo is a copy of an old tin type dated 1891. It is a photo of Charles Paschal BRANNAN and Laney Woodham BRANNAN with daughters Piety Alice and Rebecca Allie. Also in the picture is Pricilla WOODHAM, an adopted niece of Laney. There is also a BALDWIN family group photo that includes Van HELMS. If anyone is interested please contact me at
