In honor of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, we’re sharing a couple photographs that highlight family, friends, and food! Here are two mysteries from the archive that are lacking identifying information. If you see anyone you recognize, please let us know!
The first picture above comes from the M Files Collection and was included in a folder of unidentified photographs. A handwritten note in the folder read: “From home of Juanita Dockins, Prescott St., Memphis, TN. Died in Memphis 1990s. Husband Louis P. (L.P.) Dockins. Died in Memphis 1990s. Daughter Monetha Killion. Gift of Mike Hartsfield.” Perhaps some of the people mentioned in the note are portrayed in the photograph, but we are not certain!
The second photo comes from The George W. Lee Collection, and only includes a descriptions stating, “Photo of three females and one male posing and enjoying cookies.”
