This shot gives a wide-angle view of the old home place where Alexander Franklin and "Nellie" (beach) Dix lived when they returned to Bullock County in the mid-1880's following their stint in Tennessee and north Alabama.
L-R Paul Finch Dix, Thomas Murrell "Murrie" Dix, Nellie (Beach)
Dix, Philo Castle Dix, and Alexander "Allie" Franklin Dix Jr.
James and Dimple Hall were married at this house on October 20, 1892 and made it their own when Alexander and family moved to Montgomery in 1897
Children of James M and Dimple (Dix) Hall Back row: William (with hat), Lillis, Elhannon Winchester "Chester",
Helen, Dorothy (hands at face)
(These are my best guesses based on ages. Corrections are requested. RDW) There are six girls and four boys. Richard, the youngest, was
born in 1907 and looks to be about 3-years old in this photo, so let's
assume that the photo was made about 1910.

Here we have all ten Hall children together. We're guessing that's Chester and Lillis at either end of the horse. An infant Richard is being cradled by an older sister (Helen?) under the horses neck. We believe the boys on the horse are James Jr. and William. I think I recognize Winifred, who usually has her hair in braids across the back of her head. behind James Jr., and perhaps Dorothy at the lower right standing. That leaves Nina in front on the horse and Lucile (behind Winifred). The year must be about 1908.
Only six children in this photo. Lillis, Helen, James and William
are not included here. We think that's Chester squatting on the ground,
and Richard at the rear of the horse, Winifred, Dorothy, Lucile, and Nina
at the reins. Really guessing now.
It looks like the Hall children are paired with the siblings closest
in age, so let's try again: In the foreground: Richard and
Lucile; directly behind them must be Nina and Dorothy; to the right of
them, William and Winifred; and across the back from L-R, Chester with
Lillis and to the right of them, James and Helen. I thought at first
that this must be their Easter picture, but the garden seems to be well
into the summer.
This was taken on the front steps of the Pine Grove home. Between fall of ’52 and Spring of ’53 is Nancy's estimate
Front row: Richard Dix Hall, Virginia Ann, Albert
