Faces from Gurley's Past - Part 2

In a long forgotten cedar trunk found in a long forgotten Gurley attic, there rested two leather bound photo albums containing photos of early residents of Gurley. One album was a Christmas present given to a cousin named Matilda (Matilda Gurley Walker -1854-1931) from Cousin Clara (Clara McBride). It was dated December 25, 1886. The photos are of people of all ages.

Many of these photos are identified by name but many are not. Many of these people are ancestors of current Gurley citizens. Some will be recognized by photos currently in old albums in the possession of our readers.
The Gurley Website and From Our Past ask if anyone can identify some of the unknown photos, please submit their names and any other pertinent information to our website.
Thank you,

Jim Hawkins

John Walker was the second youngest brother to Capt. Elijah F. Walker. It is strongly believed Jim Hawkins was a trooper in the command of the famous Confederate Cavalry Raider Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan. Morgan was known for his daring cavalry action in Kentucky and Tennessee.
