DarcusAdaladeandEstherMagdalineSmith0002.jpg416 viewsThis is a photo of two daughters of Mary Elizabeth Weaver Smith and James Latham Smith (both born at Vance's Tank [Bristol], Sullivan County, TN) :

Darcus Adalaide Smith Cole, b.12-21-1871, d.2-14-1963, buried at Weaver Union Church Cemetery, Bristol, Sullivan County, TN
("Addie" on photo - she was known as "Aunt Ad")

and

Esther Magdaline Smith, b.1-6-1878, d.3-9-1935, buried at Weaver Union Church Cemetery, Bristol, Sullivan County, TN
("Mag" on photo - she was known as "Aunt Mag") - she never married

I would guesstimate the photo was taken between 1900-1915.
