This group of 8 photos is from the collection of Maxine Elliott Mottice. The location is the Elliott homestead on Sycamore, and the occasion is a birthday. Based on the ages of some of the people in the pictures, the date appears to be the mid to late 1940s.
But whose birthday is is? One of the photos shows an older gentleman with the cake, so it is probably safe to assume it is his birthday. Eula Elliott believes that this was taken during an annual summer visit of cousins from Fayette County (south of Calhoun). The birthday party, according to her, was for one of these cousins.
