The image was taken on 119 Fayetteville St. in Raleigh, NC between the years of 1887 and 1910. Based on the age, style of clothes, and dates of the image, I believe this could be James Mills (1853-1910).

I have an undated photo given to my mother by my Grand Father, Harry Henry Ricks, a designer & photographer, I'm told.
ReplyDeleteHe's included in the photo along w/Mr. Wharton & Mr. Tyree.
I would be truly appreciative if anyone could check the archives & provide me w/any additional photos of my Grand Father.
Mr. Ricks married a Mamie Weaver, & lived on N. Tarboro in Raleigh.
Thank you
