Here is a great scan of the the early depot. What a nice building it was.

Below are close-ups of the men:

The late Mrs. Iva Shaw identified the third man from the right is Bert Butler.

Lisa Nelson reports thats her Aunt says that the man 2nd from the left is definitely Nealy Martin Addison [her father, Lisa's grandfather]. They say that he most certainly worked for the railroad in Moundville. She said that Nealy Martin had a gold Hamilton watch from the railroad that he had given to his son, her father, and that it was then given to them and she still has it.

Below are two scans shared by Vic Hinds that include a later Moundville Section Crew. This photo was taken a few years after the one above.

 

Section Crew at Moundville.

3rd from left is Clyde Ashbaugh.

Close up of the depot and you can see it see it is the same building as the depot at the top of the page.

Section Crew.

Clyde Ashbaugh on left. We should be able to identfy the rest.

Later - Moundville Section Crew - See enlargements below

Does anyone recognize these guys?

Deanna Cocke Morrison shared this image and identifies her grandfather, Robert John Cocke as the Section crew leader, closest on the right. We don't know the other two.

Another later view of the section crew. Robert John Cocke on the left. Image from Deanna Cocke Morrison.

This is the Moundville Section house. The crew lived here at first. However, at a later time, we believe this is the house where the Nunez family lived for many years. It was Southeast of Moundville, not far south of where the rail line curved north. Image from Deanna Cocke Morrison.

If you recognize anyone else, e-mail me and I will add it to this page.  

Here is a 1955 view.
