ca. 1903 Delta Beta Sigma Sorority Tennessee
This photograph of the Delta Beta Sigma Sorority was taken about 1903. Marion Moran, who is on the back row, second from the right would've been at least 16 or 17 years old when the photograph was taken. I base that on the fact that she married Charles Henry Cobb of Union City Tennessee in 1905 and would've been out of school. In addition, Delta Beta Sigma is a high school sorority that was founded in 1903 in Columbia Tennessee.
The names of the girls are listed on the back of the photograph. I'm assuming the first girl is on the back row going left to right because Marion Moran is listed fifth and she is the fifth girl in that row. I have no idea if girl seven begins on the left or right of the front row.
1. Annie Hawkins: Swan Lake Mississippi
2. Eva Colmore: Sewanee TN
3. Florrie Faulkner: Helena ARK
4. Dolly Murphy: Greenville TX
5. Marion Moran: Dresden TN
6. Anna Faulkner: Helena ARK
7. Marie Wilsey: Poplar Bluff MO
8. Rose Dickinson: Little Rock ARK
9. Estella Handford: Batesville ARK
10. Mable Vaughn: Birmingham AL
11. Alice Collier: Birmingham AL

Library Ceiling Fixture
They don't make them like this anymore. This beauty is the lighting fixture that hangs in the library at Moran Place. There used to be one similar to it in the dining room but it was replaced in the 1970's by Nathan Harrell Moran. The home was built in 1895/1896 so electricity was added in later as were toilets and a bathtub.
