BAPTIZING IN LICK CREEK

The young man 6th from the left and kind of back behind is Papa Yandell waiting his turn to be baptized. He was born in 1905 so this picture was taken in the early 1920s. Probably about 1924. Notice the girls all have on their coats for modesty. One of the young ladies was his future bride (Jimmie), but we have not been able to identify her because of the condition of the photo. The scene definitely looks like something from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou! I would love to have more information about this picture, but most everyone from that time is gone.
