My hometown is not Cape, but my ancestors were from there. I found this old photo of my grandfather, Leonard LeRoy "Roy" Kerns. I assume it was taken somewhere in or around Cape around 1920. Roy Kerns was a division engineer for the Frisco Railroad. I thought you might find it interesting as it has each man's name on the back of the photo. In case you cannot read the scan they're names are:
