This photo was taken at the 85th birthday of Elizabeth "Betty" Caroline Register Dean. She was the daughter of Joel Raspberry Register and Mary Tennessee Brown. Betty was married to my G-G-Grandfather Sermon Pierce Dean (who was the son of William Pridgeon Marion Dean and Mary Ann Delaney). I do not know the identity of everyone in this photo, but I will identify who I can.
