Annie Knight Simmons, 1904
Annie (Knight) Simmons (22 Feb 1888 – 1 Sept 1961) as a young woman. Wife of Lucius Theodore Simmons. Estimated date, around 1904. There was no indication of photographer or date on this very damaged photo. I am guessing it was taken perhaps on the same day she married Lucius at the home of her…

E. E. Hennesy Before Car
Another photo of Ezzie Hennesy before a car. He is older than seen here, has shed the vest, has a skinnier tie, somewhat better fitting suit, but is still sporting a road cap. The car looks like a 1923 or 1924 Ford Model T Runabout, which has a very distinctive rear. It also looks like…

Photo of E. E. and Ethel Hennesy circa 1936
There are enough images of Esmond Hennesy beside cars that I’m inclined to think he must have been fairly fond of autos. This time he’s with his wife Ethel and he looks cockily dressed to the nines with a fancy hat and tie and striped socks. Perhaps they were out for a Sunday drive. I’ve…

This photo was originally identified by family to show Annie Knight Simmons and the widow of Desera Simmons, Rosa Lee, at his gravesite at the Lang-Simmons Cemetery. I have to place a caveat with the original dating of this photo which would have been 1932, at the time of Desera’ death. Annie Knight would have…

Esmond Hennesy at his desk at International Paper, Southern Kraft Division, Mobile, AL. Date not noted. I’d estimate it’s the late 1940s.

Lola and Lee Hennesy with Aunt Lucille Hennesy
Lola, Lucille and Lee, circa late 1930s to early 1940s. Lucille Hennesy, b. 1920, was the daughter of James Leon Hennesy and his 2nd wife, Lucinda Pounds. Lola and Lea were daughters of Esmond Hennesy and Ethel Simmons Hennesy, Lola b. 1925 and Lea born 1927. I’m guessing this photo was made when Lea was…
