R D Barker Trucking, Rutland, Vermont 1935

R D Barker Trucking, Rutland, Vermont, plow truck in 1935. Not sure where this photo was taken but check out the load of stones in the bed to weigh the truck down for plowing. Murray, Rutland, Vt, signature in lower left corner. Anyone know who the photographer was?

WFMJ Roy Rogers Riders Club and Post Cereal

What little boy didn't want to be Roy Rogers in the 1940s and 1950s? Nowadays, you'd better read the cereal labels to see what you're eating. Most of that stuff still isn't good for you but the marketing, back then, was fabulous!

Leroy T. Hills

"Nor shall their story be forgot, while fame her record keeps."

This free-hand drawing on a scrap of paper, commemorating Leroy T. Hills, was found among some old papers. It appears to have had a photo in the center of the medal but I did not find it. I still have more papers to go through and hopefully we will find out what Leroy looked like.

Possibly Mary Cadwell Hills

Possibly Gertrude Hills Shaffer

Uncle Charles?

This young fellow is wearing a uniform but I'm not sure what it is. The cabinet photo is marked what appears to be 'Uncle Charles' in pencil at the bottom on the front. Can anyone read the handwriting and verify his name is Charles for me? Handsome lad.

Vermont Civil War Soldier

This young man is quite possibly a Vermont Civil War soldier. This old tintype was discovered among some vintage papers and letters from a local estate. No information was found with him to identify him but he may be from the East Wallingford, Vermont area. He could possibly be related to the families of Bourne, McCann or Graves, who have lived in this town for several generations. He sure was a handsome young fellow.

Any help identifying him or describing what he's wearing would be greatly appreciated.

Horse with tail over 11 feet long

You have to admit, this is an amazing old photo of a horse. The mane is 7 1/2 feet long and the tail is 11 1/2 feet long. The photo was taken in New Jersey around 1901. Can you imagine the care and upkeep for this horse to maintain all that hair? Wonder how long it took to braid it and I wonder who owned this beautiful creature.
