That's definitely the same location as the other photos, but I don't know which town it's near. That's the same small child in all the pictures -- orange shirt with a double white stripe at the sleeve; here he has his hat off.

Google maps shows Mileston, Mississippi to be Southwest of Tchula on 49 and Marcella close by. Marion Post Wolcott, photographer, also took shots in Merigold, Leland, Belzoni, and Perthshire, which is on highway 1 between Rena Lura and Rosedale.

I wish these people could be identified. I'd really like to know how their lives turned out, especially the little boy.

Once in Arkansas, my father stopped the car, led me out to a field like this, showed me how to pick a boll of cotton and said "Now that's the LAST time I ever want to see you do this." I was probably 3 or 4 years old.
