Randall Says "I do recognize my grandmother Laura E Alexander in the Photo.  She was raised in the Banner Springs area and her family were members of  Springs Chapel Methodist Church. This could be a Church group or it may be an  extended family group. I have no idea other than it would have to have been 
prior to 1905 if it was taken in Tennessee.

JJ Choate was a school teacher at one time. This may be a photo of him and his class.

Possibly a picture of the my great grandfather Robert L Alexander's 
sawmill, in the vicinity of Roslin/Banner Springs. I believe the man standing in the background with his hand on his hip is my grandfather JJ Choate.
