Hugh V. Wall was a lawyer and a banker, and, at one point in his life, ran for Congress, according to information on file at the Ole Miss archives. If this photograph is any indication, he evidently was a tree farmer/conservationist as well.
Wall died in 1965, and his daughter, Valerie Wall Campbell, lead the State Bank as a director and major stockholder for more than 40 years, until her death in 2009 -- this, according to Sylvia Campbell Hall, daughter of Jewel and Valerie Wall Campbell.
Just who is pictured here is awaiting annotation from Sylvia or others who may be familiar with this photograph. I will update as soon as I am able.

This is in regards to the photograph of my grandfather, Hugh V Wall. I am Valerie Campbell Hall and I am in the picture with my grandfather. I remember when it was taken. I must have been around 4 yrs old. It was a cold day and my mother, Valerie Wall Campbell Mills, grabbed a diaper to tie around my head. The diaper must have been my little sister’s, Sylvia Campbell Hall.
