Friday's Photo: Abb Wimberly

This photo, found in the collection of Marguerite Cook Clark, is of a young Abb Wimberly. As most of the images in this collection were taken in Northwest Louisiana, it is assumed that this photo was as well. 

To date this card, I looked for known subjects in Marguerite Cook Clark's collection with similar cabinet cards. The four known subjects are pictured below; Joseph Allen Woodard, born in 1883; Jake Cook, born in 1878; Maggie Martin (Marguerite's mother), born in 1887; and George Moore, born in 1884. 

The ages of each subject in the photos were estimated, and it appears that the photos were taken in the 1890s or early 1900s. 

A search of  Wimberly Family History compiled by Vera Meek Wimberly revealed one possible candidate, James Abner Wimberly, born on 14 March 1881. James Abner was the son of Jesse Wimberly and Jane Elizabeth Crumpton. He married Callie Mae Wimberly, and they had no children. 

If James Abner Wimberly is in your tree, do you have photos to compare?
