A man on horseback dressed in a fine suit and top hat beside a woman riding side saddle dressed in clothing that seems to be from the 1890s along with a young barefoot boy sitting behind her on W 7th St. in Columbia, Tennessee during the Mule Day parade, Monday, April 6, 1936. Garber & Co., Commerce Union Bank, Bauman’s, J.C. Penney and other businesses can be seen in the background behind a crowd of people gathered along the street to watch the parade. There is a line of other course riders towards the east as far as the eye can see.
The woman is “Lucy” Cordelia (Cordie)Tidwell Lovell and her grandson, James Brunson is the boy riding with her. The man is potentially Rufus Seay Lovell, husband of Mrs. Lovell.
