Building location is unknown; there are large telegraph poles on either side and no other buildings visible, which likely (but not definitely) means close to Trade Street but not directly on it. Two unidentified men can be seen plus the hat and forehead of a third man. On the building is a sign which reads:
SEE B. H. WALKER TO HAVE
YOUR HAULING DONE
MOVING MILL PEOPLE
A SPECIALITY
This sign implies a date after 1895, when Greer's first mill opened, and likely at least a few years after that.
This dress is in the style of maternity clothing for this period; it's likely this is a pregnancy photo. The style indicates a date of c. 1910. The identification of the woman as Fannie Drace is conjecture, based on circumstantial evidence. If that were the case, she would be 35 years old and this would be their last child, William, who was born in January 1911.
Glass plate features black and white photo of a newspaper clipping. The Hughes murder on Nov. 20, 1898 was one of the largest crime stories in Greer history, and happened just before the murder of Zonk Foster. This newspaper clipping appears to be cut from a published paper. It is possible that this clipping was from the Greer Observer when it was operated by Charles Drace, but that is speculative.
