The man on the right, of the two sitting, is James Lonnie Woods, fraternal twin brother of Thomas Monnie Woods..   The two standing below are Chester Craword and Thomas Monnie Woods.   In the 1920's men from the area went to West Texas to pick cotton.   I expect this picture was taken during one of those times.
