I have no information when or where this picture was taken.   I only know that 
Grandpa Shoaf would have been living in Tipton County at the time.
His name was John Shoaf but story goes that the 'A' was added during the Civil 
War because there was another John Shoaf in his unit.  The other John Shoaf 
was given a B'.

Additional Comments:
John 'A' Shoaf was the 1st of William  and Mary Hedrick Shoaf's children to 
come to West TN from Davidson County, NC after the Civil War.  John served 
with General Robert E Lee in the VA. Campaign and was taken as prisoner of war 
at Petersburg.
He and his wife, Sallie Harris, lived on a farm north of Covington.  They had 
9 children.
