Senator John Hollis Bankhead


The following pictures I took in 2015 are from the actual photographs held by the Alabama State Archives in Montgomery.




John Hollis Bankhead in his Confederate uniform
Born in 1842, he was quite young when this photo was taken





















Proud father: John and his 3 sons: John, Will & Henry


John and his 3 sons



John and his 3 sons


John and B.B. Comer, probably in his law office


I am guessing this photo was staged - they look too clean to have been working



Confederate Reunion - John is standing front & center



Early 1900s family photo.  John is standing in the back left
The actress Tallulah Bankhead is the first girl on the left on the front row



Son William B. Bankhead and his wife Marie, son John Bankhead, Louise and son Henry Bankhead




This photo was probably taken shortly before he died in 1920
