This portrait looks to me like it might be Lilla (Budd Dickens) Pittman, but I am confused because it was mixed in with old Yarborough portraits. This doesn’t mean it’s not: things get mixed up in houses all the time. But this could also be someone else- a Yarborough?

This photograph was mixed with other Yarborough photos. Is this a church? It is not Memphis Methodist.

I believe this is one of Mary Emma Yarborough Thomas’s sisters, but I am not sure and don’t know which one. Can you help?

This photograph was pasted in an album along with many other photographs of the Yarborough family spanning around 1880-1910. Post a comment if you can identify this person!

Maybe!

I’ve found that there is a rather large number of photos of people that I can’t identify. I might have a guess in some cases, but there are others that are totally unknown to me. For each one like this, I will provide as much information as I can, hoping that these clues might help pinpoint the answer.

Whenever I post images of this sort, I will tag it “Can You Help?” If you have an idea, a guess, an answer, or any piece of related information, feel free to post a comment or send me an email!
