McGehee Family Photos

Following are brief descriptions of the photos available for viewing and download. While everyone can't have an original of an old family photo, everyone can view and download these photos. Please let me know if you have photos you'd like to see posted here to share with others. I'd like to also include who is currently caring for the original or a good copy.

Future plans include a CD containing digitized photos and tape recordings of early recollections of those who made the trip from Alabama to Florida in the 1920's. If you have photos or recordings you'd like to see included in this, or if you have suggestions as to file format, organization, documentation, etc., please email me at

At this point, these are not arranged in any particular order. Hopefully there will be enough photos posted here that they will need to be organized in some manner.

POW side 1- [Original - Stephen Clay McGehee] Prisoner of War release document for William Pelham McGehee, Confederate States Army, upon his release from POW camp at Point Lookout, MD. This document served as a free pass on any public transportation while returning home. Copy is in the files at the museum at Point Lookout. The original has been encased in non-permanent archival material and is stored in a fire-proof safe. Actual size is 5 5/16" x 8". The "star" in the corner is a punch out. A color photocopy of this original is in the archives at Point Lookout, MD.

POW side 2 - Reverse side of above. Oath of Allegiance. The white material appears to be part of something else that had tape or glue on it during storage. For more information on the Point Lookout POW camp, click here.

Sawmill - [Original - Stephen Clay McGehee] Sawmill owned and operated by Clarence Clay McGehee in Clay County, AL. Probably taken about 1900 - early 1910's.  Click here for a .zip file with this image plus a text file. Click here for the uncropped version. These image files have been cleaned up and enhanced - the original is spotted and faded. The cropped version in the zip file prints very well in 8x12 format (I used the WalMart 1-hour service).
