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:
1. V.J. Chapman
2. A.R.J. Lutzgens
3. M.D. Riley
4. L.L. (Leonard LeRoy "Roy") Kerns
5. James Morgan
6. J.J. Gallagher
7. _ Haggerman
8. F.L. Weeks
9. O.J. Thompson
10. W.R. Hicks
11. Chris Mappes
12. C.k. Howard
13. R.W. Buckles
