Pictures of the Past #45

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/

Gerald Johnson wrote: "Seated third from left, Jack Oliver, prominent Cape lawyer. Standing to the very right is Luther Hahs. In very back, center, is Dr. John Crowe."

Officers and directors of the bank were, seated left to right: John Hale, vice president; Dewey Keller, president; attorney Jack Oliver, secretary, and Weldon Macke. Standing are Robert Erlbacker, (unknown), Charles Harris, John Wescoat, Dr. John Crowe, H.E. Poe, Joe Quatman and M. Luther Hahs.
