The donor notes about the image, "On the back of the large photograph is listed in Mr. Moseley’s hand: “Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Moseley, Niles and Lonnie, Tom McAlpin, and Nurse Maggie. Tom is Mrs. Moseley’s brother. He was born in 1871, married Florence Green, and died in 1918, with burial in Jackson’s Greenwood Cemetery. The 1910 Census reveals him living in the Moseley household, with employment as a “mail contractor” and relationship as “brother-in-law.” This image reveals an African American “nurse” named Maggie living with the family, which was standard in the social class the Moseley’s were in."
