Some Old Pierce Family Photos

These are some photos that were given to me by my dad. I really don't know most of the people in them . I wish I had paid better atttention to his stories.
 
This first one was taken sometime in the 1920's judging from the clothes and my grandmothers birth date. That's her on the right with the dark hair, Gussie Melissa Pierce.
Don't have a clue who Owen is. The girl on the left is Rosa.(?) The man in the middle is a Wainwright. Taken somewhere near Nahunta or Adkinson, Ga.
 
 
" Gussie and Gertrude,in the 20's"
This must have been taken at Saint Simons Beach, Ga or near there.
 
 Julia Irene Miller Slaughter Hunt. Born in 1866, Ousley Station, Ga. She married a Slaughter first and then my great-grandfather, Isaac Solomon Hunt.

From left to right, My grandmother, Gussie Pierce, Dan Wainwright, Georgia Wainwright, and  the gentleman on the right is my great grandfather, Samuel Hardy Pierce,



 Gussie Melissa Pierce, taken in Brunswick, Ga. She worked at the Oglethorpe Hotel. She reminds me of Velma from the Scooby Doo cartoons.


                           These two handsome fellows are Dan Wainwright and Ike Pierce.
 
 Don't know much about Dan, but when I was small,  we used to go see Uncle Ike and Aunt Dorothy in Tarpon Springs, Fla. I was amazed  because they had a river out back, with a dock and alligators!


This is my grandfather, Albert Solomon Hunt. He worked for Corp of Engineers on a dredge, the USS Savannah, 3rd mate.
