Pictures of the Past #46
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/

Published Oct. 9, 1957. A horde of yellowjackets from one of the largest ground nests ever found in this vicinity, routed a Missouri Utilities crew Tuesday while working on power lines on Hopper Road at Dorothy. The crew fled, sans stings, but returned with equipment to quell the tiny desperadoes, then dug the nest from the ground along the shoulder of the street. Robert Huey, at left, and Charles Templeton, show sections of the nest and the ground burrow the insects had used for their fortress. (G.D. Fronabarger, Southeast Missourian archive)
