Good guess. Yeah, the "gal" on the right was my maternal grandma, Artie Lou
Hall, before she became Mrs. James Alva Snider, which was the custom back than.
My wife says she ain't "Mrs. Anybody," but she did consent to changing her
name from McCauley to Wayman. The "gal" on the left was her older sister,
Annie (but the movie wasn't about her), and I knew her as my Great Aunt Annie
Kennedy. My grandmother was born October 30, 1880, and this picture was taken
in Atlanta when she and Annie were in college, so our best guess is that it was
made about 1898 or 1899.
And my grandmother was a pistol. Had to be to keep up with my granddaddy. At
least as much as mother and father, they made me pretty much what I became.
For better or for worse.
