H. D. Rainwater

This photo, purchased on eBay in August 2004, is inscribed H. D. Rainwater. This leads us to believe that it is a photo of one of six possible individuals.

Terry Rainwater has indicated that this is not Hugh Dorsey Rainwater, 1914 - 1994, Georgia, narrowing the possibilities down from six to five.

Howard Dempsey Rainwater, 1919-1988, Alabama
Henry D. Rainwater, 1867-1932, Alabama
Hugh Dallas Rainwater, 1869-1896, Georgia
Hiram D. Rainwater, 1872-1948, Missouri
Herbert D. Rainwater, 1898-1976, Arkansas

2020 Update: I today ran across the Findagrave entry for Howard Dempsey Rainwater. To my eyes, the hairline, ears, and eyes are the same. I feel fairly certain that we have now ID’d this photo.
