"WHITESVILLE STAGE" This photo from ca.1920s shows the Whitesville Stage, a Model T Truck, stuck in the mud.  I believe it says, "Miller Farm, Crittenden District".  Harry Taylor shown would have been son of Alfred Taylor of Genesee, PA, and a cousin of Webmaster's GrandFather.

Goldie & The Cow Palace "Attached is a picture of (I believe) the 7th and 8th grade class at Whitesville in 1941. In the second row on the left I think is Hazel Ellison Brown, and the teacher is probably Mrs. Barney."

the "East Main St. Bridge" --the person sending it was in Whitesville and sending it to someone in Omaha Nebraska. The date says October 29th 1907.

the note on the back says: This building by the bridge is a cheese factory. It was written by a Mrs. Davis to a Mrs. N. W. Stockton in Omaha Nebraska. Seems this Mrs. Stockton was taking care of this ladys boys while she was visiting Whitesville.
