Pictures of the Past #69
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/
“Hook, Line and Sinker” column by G.D. Fronabarger. Nov. 21, 1957 Southeast Missourian. Once in a while a hunter comes up with a rare specimen of game. The accompanying photo shows John Drum of the Central Packing Co. farm on Cape LaCroix Road with a white possum he took one night this past week while hunting. Most white possums one finds are true albinos, but this rare fellow has black eyes and ears, but is snow white otherwise.

July 27, 1955 Southeast Missourian. A welcome to our fair city! To those interested, the photograph looks south from Broadway along Water street, showing many things of note: buildings, cars, trucks, the traffic bridge in the distance, railroad tracks, etc., things the visitor by train sees as he arrives in town. And, what about the adornment along the railroad. Those are weeds, a lush growth within a block of a main business section. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive)
