& unknown #2



unknown #3

(Identified 2009 by PCGS members Beverly Graves and Beth Haring as "The old house of Dr. Andrew Jackson Baker sometime before it burned." Possibly taken in 1907)

"It was located east from Aldrich, MO. This photo was taken during the celebration of Dr. A. J. Baker's birthday, (July 4, 1844) and his son, A.J. Baker, II's birthday, (July 8, 1885).  The family had a huge reunion every July 4th in celebration. The reunion was with several families: Bakers, MacDonalds, and Nash as the older generations and their children, in-laws, cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Dr. A.J. Baker is in the middle of two bearded gentlemen, with a droopy mustache and no beard.  His wife #2, Rachel Davis Drake Baker, is standing behind him looking to her left (to the right in the picture).  The fourth lady to Rachel’s left (to the right in the picture) is Mattie Baker Thompson, daughter of Andrew and his wife #1, Martha Ann Faulkenberry.  Mattie married Losson Thompson.  Losson Thompson is seated just to the right of the tree on the right side of the picture.  One of the bearded men in the second row is Isaac Mc Culley (A.J. Baker II's father-in-law) and the one with the longest beard is Samuel Nash, a family cousin.  These three men served in the Civil War--(Dr. Baker, Mr. McCulley and Mr. Nash). "

Another visitor to PCGS's website identified some of the people in the picture as being named Simpson.

These pictures were given to Linda Crawford by Ron Johnson of Rock Island, IL, a great grandson of Rev. Johnson. He wanted the pictures back in the area they came from.  If you need a better look, just double click the photo.
