		Idella Estella "Ida" Hawes Williams is Wayne's grandmother and Jacob Lafayette "Jake" Williams is his grandfather. This is a photograph of a Williams family reunion taken at Jake and Ida's home in Fabius, Alabama, in 1906. All of the children of Jake's mother, Elizabeth Ann (Whitmore) Williams, are in this photograph.
		Jake's cousin Betty, his mother Elizabeth, Jake, Ida, Russell, and niece (possibly Myrtle Hawes, daughter of John and Mollie Hawes). Elizabeth is holding a small white flower in her hand. (abt. 1905)

		Hauling crossties. The man on the left, holding papers, is the boss, Jerome Houser, Sweet's husband. Jake Williams is sitting on the wagon load of crossties. According to Ida's writing on the reverse side of this photograph, the other men are (left-to-right): John A. Goforth, Clarence Cox, unknown, and George Minton. Clarence Cox was probably the father of Carine Cox, who later married Frank Hawes (John Hawes son). George Minton was probably the father of Bennie Minton, who later married Frank Hawes' sister, Pearl. (abt. 1905)
