"I have found a picture dated 1910. It looks like two trains. I can see Erie on the side of one of them. the number 1877 (I think) is on the front of the other train. There are four men in this picture. I don't have any info on this picture. I think that I did have some family that worked the railroad but there is no way of knowing who these men are unless someone recognizes them. Pam Vincent."

Hi Ron,

I am attaching a picture of a house, location unknown. The back of the card reads: "GEM PHOTO POSTCARDS, Geo. E. Mott, Angelica, N.Y."

I don't think the house is an Angelica house and thought maybe if it was posted on your unknown site someone might be able to identify it. I know he mostly took pictures in Angelica but sometimes was in Friendship and St.. Marys, Pa.

Thanks,

Bob

I think the unknown house picture is an Allegany County house. To me, it looks just like the house owned by Steve and Mickey Cummins on East Water St., Friendship.

Ron,

This picture was just given to the museum (Nathaniel Dyke Museum - Wellsville) by Marion Jacobs Brook. She believed it to be Wellsville. Her parents ran the Al Ha Mar motel on Bolivar Road.

It is not identified. You can see brick pavement in the foreground - which makes us all believe it might have been taken in the village. The workmen on the roof appear to be dismantling the place. Mary Rhodes - Nathaniel Dyke Museum, Wellsville 5/27/09

I would like some help identifying the individuals in this photograph.
The woman is strongly believed to be Angeline Sweet Williams, born 1825, died unknown, wife of Philander Williams, 1818-1894. Philander and Angeline Williams lived in New Hudson.

Philander and Angeline's daughter Adeline married Henry Fuller. Henry and Adeline had sons Charlie and Dorr, and daughters Maude and May, also
known as Tota. May Fuller married Walter Hillman of the
Freedom/Farmersville area, and later Caneadea.

(I have several photos
of the Fuller and Hillman families. If anyone is interested, please
email me).

Any help identifying these gentlemen will be greatly appreciated.

If you can help identify these outstanding citizens, please Email: -Marty Hillman

This 1912 photograph was originally owned by Charles Richard Gardner and now by his granddaughter, Heather Corson who shared it with us. The photo was also shared by Mr. Gardner at one time for a Pennysaver viewing.

From a clipping at the Rogers Historical Society we find the names are as follows: Top Row-Gene Hamilton, Paul Hanks, Richard Gardner; Row 3-Walter Arnold, Carl Bergeson, Frank Arnold, Marion Belisle, Anna Hamilton, Walter Boyd, Charles Gardner, Frank Fowler; Row 2-A. Riggs, B. Hazzard, Ed Mack, W. Crandall, Chat Fanton, Gillett; Front Row-A. Johnson, Ham Meissner, Albert Bergen, Albert Weitrick. It is belief of our Historian Friend, Jane Pinney, that the Concert Band soon after became the Christian Temple Concert Band. In 1913 a Wellsville Newspaper account names the “Temple Concert Band” as performing.

NOW IDENTIFIED!!
