Pictures of the Past #22

G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face. Mystery Galleries may still be viewed on our History Page, http://www.semissourian.com/history/

Audrey Crafton of Texas wrote: "Oran had a centennial celebration in 1969. The picture of the hearse does not look familiar to me, but I am wondering if someone will recognize the buildings in the background." Linda Halter Welter of Chaffee wrote: "I believe (this) photo (was) taken at Chaffee at the main intersection of Main Street and Yoakum Avenue during the Chaffee Golden Jubilee in 1955. It is looking southeast with the old stone Chaffee bank (on the extreme left) which also housed dentist Dr. Spencer's office upstairs. Behind the hearse is the line of businesses that included Finney's Drug and a beauty shop (where I got my first haircut). I was only 5 years old at the time so my memories are sketchy but I'm quite sure that this is a photo from the Chaffee Golden Jubilee."
