Warren Royal Beahm was a soldier in the Confederate army and was a wagon maker by trade. When that fact became known by the Quartermaster Corps he was sent home to Marksville to build supply wagons for use by the army. For this service he was paid privates wage of $7.00 per month and he was allowed to wear his uniform. A 16” x16” picture of Warner Royal Beahm in his uniform existed until it was destroyed by fire in 1984.

•  Esther Mae Beahm, being held by Nannie Corbin Beahm.  And surely the other girl is Myrtle Lucy Beahm.  The boys, on the other hand, are more of a problem.  John Rueben & Nannie had three boys:  George, James, and Luther.  While there are three boys in the photo, none could be Luther, as he was not born until 1909. Unless the photo is dated incorrectly.  So ... which is George, which is James, and is that Luther standing by Frances?
