"I've attached a
scan of a photo that my father-in-law had. In it is, for certain,
George Washington Shirley.
He is on the far left, in the first standing row, second from
the left, with the dark hat and full mustache.
His son Jesse (my husband's grandfather) is on the porch in the
center of the photograph, holding a shotgun.
I know that Jesse's brother Henry is in the photo, but I'm not
sure where. His daughter Ann is on the far right,
on the first row, last in line, with no shoes on. There are several
older folks in the photo--maybe you or
some of the others know them." - Jessie Emerson
