Pictures from the Past

Many of the pictures in the newspaper’s old files have no names or dates. If you know anything about the photo and would like to share the information with our readers, please call 662-252-4261 or send an email to southreporter@dixie-net.com. This week’s photo has nothing written on the back. Last week’s photo was identified by Marie McClatchy in an email: “I am not sure what this picture concerns, but it may have something to do with Rust College, city officials, and local businessmen. On the bottom row, from left: Claiborne Thompson, Sam Coopwood, Lucy Carpenter, Dr. William McMillan and his wife Mildred, Dottee Rather (my mother), and not sure who that man is next to her. Behind Dr. Mcmillan is George Yarbrough, Ed Rather (my father), Tubby Gresham, and maybe Rueben Pegues. The top row, I think, is John Dabney Brown, Eddie Lee Smith, Nub Strickland, but not sure about the other two. Maybe someone else will recollect who some of them are.”
