Pictured on the far left on the porch of the home he had built in the vicinity of Caledonia, MS, in what the family called the "five generations" photo (ca. 1889-90). Between then and the end of his life, three of his gr.-granddaughters spent their early childhood in his home. Gr-Granddaughter Jimmie Carothers (whose older sister Reba was the baby in the picture) remembered him as a kind man who had long red hair that she would comb. He called her "Little Jim."
