Photograph Identification Project

Photograph Identification Project

This is the first posting to the CCHA Photograph Identification Project. We have many photographs of people, places, and things that need more eyes on them for identification.

This inaugural photograph of "Kids on a Rock" is a group of children in their Sunday finest sitting on (or standing near) a large rock. It probably was taken in the 1920s.

The photograph came from an album that belonged to Pattie Griffin Gunn (1895-1956) (sister of well-known Yanceyville resident Johnny Gunn), who lived in the Allison Community, Caswell County, was a member of Prospect United Methodist Church, and attended a one-room school where Mineral Springs Baptist Church now is located. This could be a group from the church or the school. The photograph is 2"x3" and not in the greatest condition.
