Samuel Alonzo McCanless Wins a Marble Angel from W.O. Wolfe in a Poker Game

Last week’s post on Asheville photographer James M. McCanless made mention of James’s brother, Samuel Alonzo McCanless, winning a marble angel from William O. Wolfe in a poker game. That’s a story unto itself. Samuel, also a photographer, was born in 1859 in McDowell County and died March 6, 1923. The two brothers are listed together
