So I purchased a box of photos that belonged originally to the Barney Bradberry family. I found a family tree on Ancestry that included versions of some of the photos. Here is a sample. People in bold are in the photos. A carte visita photo from the N. Winters Photograph Rooms, Commerce St., Near Main Plaza, San Antonio, Tex. On the front is "John & Nancy Chapman." It was probably taken on their wedding day. John and Nancy (Sweeten) Chapman. John O. Chapman was born in 1856 in Bell County, Texas, son of  Margaret Eunice (Hood) Kitchens. He was married in 1878 in Medina County, Texas to Nannie Sweeten. Nancy Estelle Sweeten was born in 1862 in Atascosa County, Texas, daughter of Noah Durham Sweeten and Sarah Ann Johnson. They were were divorced prior to 1893, when John was married to Mollie Chant. John died in 1901 in Edwards County, Texas and was buried in the Barksdale Cemetery in Barksdale, Edwarrds County, Texas. John and Nancy were the parents of Roy, Mabel, David
