Friday's Photo: Is this Tillman C. Bryan II of Bienville Parish?



This photo was passed on to me years ago by a descendant of Tillman Bryan and his wife, Mildred of Bienville Parish, Louisiana.  Julia, my distant cousin, said it might be Tillman and Mildred's son, Tillman C. Bryan II, and this young girl might be his wife or a sister. [1]  She looks so young! Mary Elizabeth McDowell was 20 years old when she married Tillman C. Bryan, age 22, in 1886. [2]

To Tillman Bryan's descendants reading this blog, what do you think? Is this Tillman and his wife? His sister? OR, Is this young man one of Tillman II's siblings?
