Thriller Thursday - My First Photo Reunion Success Story!

Curry Williams, Unk, Albert Wms, 1880s
Several weeks ago on June 11 I posted a photo titled Mystery Monday - "Three Gentlemen, Unknown Occupation" which showed three men posing in strange garb.  One of these men was identified as Curry Williams.  I had picked up this photo at an antique show along with some others and most of them had names written on them. Most were from the Talladega County, Alabama area.  Since Curry was such an unusual name, I searched Ancestry.com and was easily able to find him and his immediate family.  I sent emails to two of the people who had family trees on Curry, his siblings and parents inquiring if they were interested in copies of the photos I had.  Both replied enthusiastically, one was Curry's great-granddaughter, the other was a distant cousin.  I was able to send them two photos of Curry (including the one from that post), Curry's brother Albert, his sister Emma, his sister Lillie and what we believe are their parents at a younger age.  They were very excited to receive these photos as they had not seen these before.  Below are the photos I sent:
