Pictures of the Past #92

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/

Published Dec. 21, 1960. Winter arriving some 24 hours ahead of time really blew up a storm as this picture at Broadway and Fountain well illustrates. It was a blizzard of proportions seldom seen in these parts that brought 3 inches of snow and traffic snarls of record size. And, the calendar says Winter actually didn't arrive until this afternoon.

Sept. 3, 1958 Southeast Missourian. Mississippi whopper. Carl Ratliff, 2106 S. Sprigg, hasn’t a whole lot in size on this huge catfish he hauled in Tuesday afternoon from one of his hoop nets in the Mississippi River just south of the cement plant. The fish was 49 1/2 inches long and weighed 69 1/2 pounds, the largest reported caught in this area this season. Ratliff, a groceryman, has seven hoop nets in the river and has been doing right well with them, getting a number of catfish and also carp and buffalo, some of which have been 20 pounds or larger.
