Beard’s painting

Several youths are shown playing on the wooden bridge which crosses railroad tracks pretty far below. One of the youngsters is Evelyn Beard herself. She’s the one with yellow pigtails.

They are looking northward from Bivins and towards Atlanta. The track is going through a deep cut in the hill. A gradually lessening of depth will continue until the Bethsaida “Y” Baptist Church is reached. Even here, however, the roof tops of the train cars will just begin to be level with the land.

Look closely at the photo of the painting. Start with the left side and go around clockwise. See if you can find the following: -- At left, the Marie Ray Davis home -- Nazarene Church -- Martha Walker Home -- Old Carmack Home -- Crossing tracks, While & Walker General Store -- At right, T&P Section Gang Housing -- Hubbard General Store and Rent Home -- Depot -- At bottom, the figures from left to right, Elmer Johnson, Evelyn Beard, Lillie Johnson Price and Teddy Bear the dog,
