Pictures of the Past #48

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/

Aug. 3, 1955 Southeast Missourian. The 4-H Club members as they assembled at Arena Park Tuesday for briefing before they deployed to canvass the merchants of Cape Girardeau to sell booster tickets for the District Fair. Seventeen teams, consisting of two club members and one leader, were each given a section of Cape Girardeau to work. At Jackson, four similar teams solicited. The Cape Girardeau group was under the supervision of Percy Farrar and at Jackson, A.D. Arnhart, county agent, was in charge. After the intensive canvass of the two larger cities, each of the teams will also contact merchants in the section of the county in which they live. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive)

It looks as if the photographer interrupted a meal to get a shot of the men at the head table. The man third from the left appears to be Sen. Stuart Symington, probably with Democratic party members. Bill Stone wrote: "The fourth gentleman from the right next to Senator Symington is a young Norval Randol. Then next to him, fifth from the right, is Jack Oliver. I judge the photo to be from the mid 1950s." Gerald Johnson added: "On the left is Al Zimmer. Next is not Norval Randol, but please tell me who it is. To the senator's left is Dr. Harold Rapp, then Jack Oliver. On the far right is Jon Roberts of the the Missourian Printing & Stationery store."

Bill Stone wrote: "I know this photo was taken on Fountain Street north of Broadway between the Marquette Hotel and the H & H building. Judging by the Cadillac, the photo must have been taken about 1953 or 1954. I do not know the young lady either, but there was a Rhea Optical in the 1950s and 1960s in the first block going up Broadway Hill across the street from where the First National Bank was located. Perhaps she was a relative as it is not a common name." Terri Gohn Tomlin wrote: "I feel certain (this) is Nancy Rhea Wickham of Jackson. Her father owned Rhea Optical, in Cape Girardeau, for many years. She is married to Herb Wickham, a well known artist, and they have lived in Jackson for many years. Nancy and my mother are great friends and she recognized the small photo on the front page of the newspaper, which she and my dad read every day!"
