Unidentified Old Pictures

Two unidentified gentlemen

2008-01-11T07:47:00.000-08:00

These pictures were found while going through my wife's mom's stuff. No clue as to who they are. The younger man with the umbrella has "1898" written in the back in pencil. The older man in the oval shows the name of the studio where the picture was made; "Calvert Phos Nashville, Tennessee."

Two ladies and a palm tree

2007-04-30T18:02:00.000-07:00

I'm guessing that these two ladies were in Florida and this picture was taken almost 60 years go. I wish I knew their names.

If you can identify any of the people or locations in these photos, just post a comment and let me know.

When you have scrolled down several pictures, click on "older posts" and you can see some more. There are more than two dozen pictures in all.

Checking the Corn

2007-04-30T17:59:00.000-07:00

My guess is that this is a mother and son inspecting the corn crop. Do you know them? Hit comments and tell us who they are.

Stylish Lady

2007-04-30T17:56:00.000-07:00

About 1950, this was style. Sure wish I knew who was standing by the pool.

Two Bathing Beauties

2007-04-30T17:52:00.000-07:00

If you know either or both, just click on comments and introduce us.

Woman in Surf

2007-04-30T17:49:00.000-07:00

This was a very small image, so I brought it in as close as I could. But who is that standing in the ocean? Which ocean? Beats me. They all look alike.

Kid on a Blanket

2007-04-30T17:47:00.000-07:00

Who is this kid?

Swim Suit and High Heels

2007-04-30T17:44:00.000-07:00

Who wears high heels with a swimsuit?

Paris

2007-04-27T13:50:00.000-07:00

Whoever they are, they were in Paris in Paris in June of 1966. This is a Polaroid picture.

Mike? Is that Mike?

Baby in Stroller

2007-04-27T13:40:00.000-07:00

What is this kid thinking? "Is this thing a stroller or a barbarque grill?"
Whatever he is thinking, I don't know who he is. Or even if he is a he.

Reading to the Baby

2007-04-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

My guess is that big brother is reading to little sister and she is really getting into the story. But I don't know who they are. A clue on the back of the photo says, "Marshall's Birthday, Jan. 12, 1950."

Is it Pat?

2007-04-27T13:23:00.000-07:00

For some reason, the name "Pat" jumps into my head when I see this lady. I know a lot of Pats, but this is not one of them. Who is she?

A Large Church

2007-04-27T13:08:00.000-07:00

Lots of stuff in this picture. The large church, a late 1920's car, several people, and some signs. I can't read the signs, but the car looks like a '27 Chrysler. Could that be Grandpa Murrill? He was a big man, often dressed in white, and liked being photographed in front of a church. Does the church look familiar? I wonder where it is.

Dorm Room

2007-04-27T12:52:00.000-07:00

It looks like a dorm room to me, but beyond that, I have no explanation. I wonder who those people are?

An Impressive Building

2007-04-27T12:46:00.000-07:00

Nice building. Could it be a school? I wonder where it is. If you know, click "comments" and share the information.

Lady on a cot.

2007-04-27T12:34:00.000-07:00

This is from an old Polaroid picture.
But who is it?

Group Shot

2007-04-27T12:25:00.000-07:00

Who are these kids?
Is that a couple of adults in the background? They might be teachers or parents. I don't see anybody I know, but I already like the kid in the lower right with the clinched fists.

Doris

2007-04-27T12:17:00.000-07:00

In the corner, it says "With Love, Doris." But who is Doris?

The Sun Was in Their Eyes

2007-04-27T12:09:00.000-07:00

These two squinting girls must be sisters. If you know who they are, just punch "coments" and let us know.

Someone I forgot?

2007-04-27T11:55:00.000-07:00

I don't know who this is. Could he be someone I knew, but forgot?

Mystery Woman and the Birdbath

2007-04-27T11:40:00.000-07:00

I don't remember the Mystery Woman, and I don't think I've ever seen that birdbath.

Meredith

2007-04-27T11:36:00.000-07:00

Someone wrote "Meredith 1949," on this, but it isn't Meredith Clay Murrill and it isn't Meredith McCulloch.

And who is the kid?

Is the toe at left a clue? I don't think I have ever been in this room.

Katy Bishop

2007-04-27T11:34:00.000-07:00

On the back of the picture, it says "Katy Bishop (15)." Do you know Katy Bishop?

The War Years?

2007-04-27T11:20:00.000-07:00

This picture is not very clear, but two of the men appear to be in Uniform. It could be World War II.

Under a Live Oak Tree

2007-04-27T11:09:00.000-07:00

This is a whopper of a tree. Who is that lady? The sign seems to be numbers without words.

A Graduate

2007-04-27T11:04:00.000-07:00

Somebody just graduated from college. But who? Are those his parents? Who are they. Do the clothes suggest when the picture was made? What do you think?

A tourist court

2007-04-27T11:00:00.000-07:00

Before we had motels, there were "tourist courts" made up of cabins. This lady and the car may be in some other pictures below. Could this be South Carolina? I can't read the license plate.

Could this be a wedding?

2007-04-27T10:56:00.000-07:00

I don't know any of these people. The man in front is playing a violin. The boy at left is wearing a tux. I think that car is in another picture. I wonder who the ladies on the walkway are?

Woman on Bicycle

2007-04-27T10:52:00.000-07:00

Who is this lady? She could be Mary, my Uncle Winston's wife.
