1888
Blog interruption by Thursa Short, Board Member and secretary.
The Randolph County Historical Society, Inc. needs your help in as much identification as possible of this photograph in The Genealogy Library collection. This photo was glued to black card stock and the note on the front was glued to it.
A note on the front reads: "Written on back.. Complimentary of Frank H. Stewart to Miss Cora Frist. Lynn, Indiana 1888."
What do you know of the location? Is it in fact in Lynn, Indiana? Where is this building "now", in 2019?
What do you know of the people in the photo? Do you know what the occasion was that had them gather for the photographer? How were "Riley" and "Groover" connected? Kinfolk? Business partners?
We need your help to tell "the rest of the story" as part of "The Next 50 Years" vision of RCHS, Inc. You can comment below if you have more of the story to tell. To help assure we capture all of the story and credit, I suggest you send an email to rchsmuseum@gmail.com so a board member can schedule a time to review information to gather for a notebook archive.
Note from Mick.
Cora Frist married Governor Goodrich.
