This picture of attendees at the 1920 reunion of the surviving members of Quantrill's band was published in the 1956 edition of William E. Connelley's, "Quantrill And The Border Wars," (Pageant Book Co., 1956). The picture was donated by a niece of Sim. Sim Whitsett was identified by his niece as the man behind Jesse James Jr. (the man in the lower right corner with the white hat). However, in 1963 the Williams family identified the man as John W. Williams. The roll of men attending the 1920 reunion shows that Sim Whitsett was not present, but John W. Williams was. Peculiar is that Miss Lizzie Wallace, who was on her porch standing behind the men, was completely removed from the picture. More Photos Photos of Sim Whitsett & Quantrill Reunions
