Climbing the Family Tree: Reader seeks help with photo identification

Shown is a portrait of a gentleman whose portrait was one of many that hung in the entrance hall at Barton Academy. He perhaps was a former educator for the Mobile County Public School System. In the late 1960s when Barton was renovated, a decision was made to remove all the portraits. My father, W. A. Walker, was the coordinator (later Director) of Vocational Education there at Barton and brought this portrait home.

If you are a descendant and would like to have his portrait, please contact J. Sentell at 607-0408.?

Reader seeks information on Elizabeth Clark Tims

I am seeking information on Elizabeth Clark Tims who was born in Georgia circa 1802. She was the widow of Thomas Tims who died before 1850 in Murray County, Ga. Elizabeth Tims and her family relocated to Marshall County, Ala., with her daughter and son-in-law. It is believed Elizabeth must have remarried. Does anyone have marriages for Alabama after 1850? I cannot locate her on any census in 1860.

One of her daughters was Emily Tims who married David Garrison Jones in 1851 in Marshall County. This couple is on the 1865 Alabama Census in Blount County. Any help would be appreciated.

Biurgren/Beurgren Family

I am searching for two relatives: Julius Biurgren and Louis Biurgren. Often they spelled the name wrong (Beurgren, for instance). Julius was an immigrant from Germany (Alsace-Lorraine) to Mobile pre-dating the civil war. His wife was of French descent. We do not know her maiden name. His son, Louis, was born in 1856 and later relocated from Mobile to Camden, New Jersey. Louis married an Elizabeth Kremm who was from Baden, Germany. Any information on either of them would be helpful and greatly appreciative.
