Pictures of the Past #27

G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face. Mystery Galleries may still be viewed on our History Page, http://www.semissourian.com/history/

Oct. 19, 1946 Southeast Missourian. Cape County orchards produced this year one of the best apple crops in years, both in volume and quality of fruit. This photo shows, at the left, Miss Mary Louis Deneke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Deneke, owner of the Deneke Orchard on Cape Rock Drive, and Ann Fuhrmann, a daughter of Lawrence Fuhrmann, the orchard’s superintendent, at a tree which bore unusually large apples. Many trees this year produced the largest apples in years. About 7,000 bushels were grown at the Deneke Orchard. The apple harvest here has been virtually completed. (G.D.
