UPDATE: Wendell was able to name some of the women in the picture... Addie Barnes is the tall lady on the left and her sister, Pearl, is the other tall lady on the right. The shorter lady directly behind Harrison Timms is Lillian Provence. The young girl in the background on the left may be my aunt, Patsy Bailey Stagner - not certain yet. Still working on identification of the remaining people in the picture... 08/04/2021 Gayle

Doing some research tonight and I stumbled across this picture.
The gentleman seated is supposed to be Perry Harrison Timms.
This may get confusing......
Perry Harrison Timms was first married to Elizabeth "Lizzie" Barnes who passed away in January 1890.
Lizzie Barnes was also the sister of Adams "Add" John Barnes.
Add was the father of John Henry Barnes who was married to Addie Mae Rennels. John Henry and Addie Mae are the parents of Josephine Lou Barnes Bailey - my granny.
Addie's parents were William "Bill" Rennels and Mary Josephine "Josie" Taylor.
Bill Rennels passed away March of 1890 and Josie married Perry Harrison Timms in April of 1890.
So, back to the picture... There is no date associated with the picture, but the person who had posted this picture in 2010 said that the names "BillieJean, Parl, Addie, and Doll" are written on the back. I'm guessing Addie is my great grandmother. Addie has a sister named Ella Pearl that went by Pearl (Parl, possibly). I don't remember the names Billie Jean or Doll right now. I know Addie and Pearl had a sister named Julia and a brother named Burl that Josie was pregnant with when married Perry and Burl was given the Timms name.
Anyhow... Going left to right... I don't recognize the thin woman but the next woman looks like my great-grandmother, Addie Mae... If that is her, then the woman next to her would be either Pearl or Doll... I'm thinking the woman on the right is Pearl... She looks more like Addie than the other 2... SO...
If anyone recognizes these ladies, please post who they are... Josie Rennels Timms passed away in 1937 and Perry passed in 1947. There is another picture of Perry with a huge cake taken on this same day so I'm thinking it may have been his 85th or 90th birthday. Of course, it could be earlier and maybe Josie just wasn't in the picture... He sure doesn't look 90 to me!
Any help on this one???
