ref. 45197Ephemera. Five photos of William Judson Sarratt 1877-1939 born in Schull Shoals Union County South Carolina. A large photo by Reckling & Sons studio Columbia South Carolina measures about 4 x 5 1/2 inches and is mounted on stiff black stock which has been neatly trimmed by us at the top to eliminate a jagged edge. It's a high-quality image of Sarratt in formal dress: black top hat black coat white tie white gloves. The reverse side notes he was a graduate of Clemson and president of his class. A second smaller image is dated 1897 by the photographer. The reverse identifies the subject as Judson Sarratt with printed photographer's promo info that this is one of 12 "So-Kute" Photos reproduced by J. M. House Photo Studio in Gadsden Alabama. It is almost identical to a larger 3rd image of Sarratt. A 4th image shows him apparently with a female cast member as part of a local drama. A 5th photo in sepia and taken by studio photographer P. B. Barnes Union S. C. shows Sarratt in a white suit and white hat and shoes against a tropical backdrop. All photos very closely resemble the Judson Sarratt who appears in a Sarratt family photo on page 245 of Union County Heritage 1981. ; . unknown
