Pictures of the Past #32

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/

(The girls) were most likely members of the Emil Bahn family. Mr. Bahn built that house in 1915, and the family had it until 1975. I owned that house from 1995 to 2003 and I recognize the fireplace. The Remley law firm currently resides there."
