Andrew Jackson Orr was my great great grandfather. He supposedly went to prison for murder, originally in North Carolina at the Raleigh work camp and then got transferred to Brushy Mountain Tennessee to work in the coal mines where he had a heart attach and died at the age of 58. He left behind a wife and 12 kids.

This is a photo of Andy's home on Hangover. Max Bell Webb of Malone, NY took this photo somewhere between 1910-1917. Max was employed by Alcoa as a draftsman. Max lived and worked in Calderwood TN where he documented life through his photographs.
