Dodge County GA. I'm completely fascinated by tintypes, and am so lucky to have this one of my maternal great-great grandfather. It must have been a good year in the fields, as he was able to afford to sit for this photograph, and have spiffy clothes to boot! He looks to be about 25 here, so that would date the image to circa 1890.

Pulaski County GA, 1888. The ladies in this picture have always been identified as my maternal great-grandmother's [Sadie Obedience Harrell Browning, 1902-1986] aunts, the Bohannon sisters, but I'm now almost certain that it is my maternal great-grandmother's mother, Roxie Obedience Bohannon Harrell [1865-1931] on the left, and one of her sisters to her right. I guess it's still the Bohannon Sisters. Most people are really shocked by the name Obedience!
