I only know that the photo is a head shot of my Grandfather.  It hung in the 
family cotton office until it closed in 1985 with head shots of the 4 
generations of ""Flowers Cotton"".   They were Papa, as we called him, his 
father--Thomas Robinson Flowers, my father--George Howard Flowers, Jr. and my 
brother--George Howard Flowers III.
