Dear Temple Researchers:

We tried to attached the photo of this house as a JPEG.file, but Rootsweb
doesn't permit this. So would interested parties please contact me privately
with their addresses so that copies could be sent you.
We recently received a photograph from Gloria Kahrs that she said her mother
thought it was the "Temples House" that Seabron Temples lived at in
Edgefield County, SC.
After further research we suspect this maybe Seabron Temples with his
daughter, Elender Caroline Temples (Ella), her husband, children, and an
un-identified young lady (the lady with the darker plaid dress) around 1900.
Based on the approx. time period, this maybe Seabron when he is living as a
widower on his farm with his daughter and son-n-law, Wilson Johnston, around
1895-1905, (they were married in 1879).

1900 Census record, Edgefield Co., SC:

"Wilson Johnston, head of household, white, male, born May 1850, age 50,
married 21 years, born in South Carolina (SC), parents born in SC, farmer,
looks like rented the farm, farm schedule 287; Ella, wife, white, female,
born May 1862, age 38, married 21 years, 6 children born, 6 living, born in
SC along with parents, can read and write; Octavia, daughter, white, female,
born Dec 1880, age 19,single, born in SC, farm laborer, 3 months not
employed, can read and write; Hattie, daughter, white, female, born Dec
1881, age 18, single, born in SC, farm laborer, 3 months not employed, can
read and write; Donnie, daughter, white, female, born Sep. 1882, age 17,
single, born in SC, farm laborer, 3 months not employed, can read and write;
Eva, daughter, white, female, born Feb. 1889, age 11, single, born in SC,
farm laborer, 6 months not employed, 3 months in school, can read and write;
Barney, son, white, male, born Sep. 1891, age 8, single, born in SC; James,
son, white, male, born Oct. 1896, age 3, single, born in SC; Stephens,
father-in-law, white, male, born Apr. 1821, age 79, widower, born in SC,
parents born in SC, can read and write."

In the photo there are seven children shown. I am guessing on this one, that
the second lady to the right of the older gentleman (Seabron we hope), she
has a dress quite different from the rest, is a family friend or related
family member. Under a magnifying glass she is one without an umbrella and
or bible in hand. That would make this picture taken around 1900 with
Seabron 79 years of age. He lived until 1906.

We need to verify this, but it seems to fit the picture of this family
around 1900 pretty closely. If anyone can identify this picture, its time
period, or the family, we would be very grateful. Gloria did say that her
mother did thought it was of a Temples's family.  Please contact me if this
looks familiar.
