The picture of the 3 men is incorrect. Their father died in 1920.
Thank you. You are correct. The picture from the Library of Congress is mislabeled so I removed it.

Named in his honor, William B. Bankhead National Forest
Yup, I worked on the Bankhead NF in the late 1970’s.
Keep hoping to see my ancestor, Abner Pickett, arrived in Alabama, Shelby County, 1815.
