Only known individual is Robert Mingus, far right-back row

from Cathy M Saunders:  "Strolling through your photos and noticed that the unknown organization was probably the Grange.  I belonged to the Grange in Ossian for many years and am familiar with the sashes that they wore.  Check your Grange records and you will probably find your list of attendees."

Andover Main Street ca.early 1960s.  (Bubba notes a 1960 Pontiac parked in front of Vars Pharmacy).  Many of us remember the time well, just after the bank was remodeled, Sackett's store, Harry Joyce's building, Vars Pharmacy, Joyce Hotel, Diner, Post Office, etc.
