A mystery picture from Winston County, may relate to those that descend from Charlie Thomas Holder. His daughters married Dickersons, Tripletts and Rafe Holder married Cina White. The Holder men were often tall, but I can't place any one here. Mr RW Triplett and Bobbi looked at this and they said 'The girl with the baby had a husband that was killed logging
just before the baby was born they thought. Cousins aren't able to identify anyone in the picture.
