Elmer Hutchings

Not sure where or when this old photo was taken but the name written on it to identify the man pushing the cart reads Elmer Hutchings. It appears he may be moving some furniture. Check out the horse and buggy in the background. The building looks like a store.

Turner Falls, Massachusetts

Was this a school? A business?

This group is seated on the lawn in first photo

These old photos were taken by the A.W. Howes & Co. photographers in Turner Falls, Massachusetts. Was this a school? A business? The group of well dressed people in the second photo were standing on the steps of this building. In the first photo they are seated or standing on the lawn in front of the building. There is only one gentleman in the group. Was he the custodian or owner of the business? Does this building still exist?

Old photos fascinate me. Some scenes and identities are lost to time. It is my hope to preserve some of those images even if the names and places may never be known.

The movie the Kennedys don't want you to see

Read here how Kennedy family members helped put the kibosh to this TV film. History channel caved but it's destined to start showing elsewhere. The world still has a thirst for all things Kennedy even after all these years.

Allen and Felix go a hunting...for deer

Back of photo declares "At camp November 16, 1916. The larger deer at left belongs to Felix; dressed weight 225 lbs. The other, Allen's weighed 200 lbs. dressed. The building shown at left is the camp. Snow 18 inches deep."

"The return home November 21, 1916. Felix doesn't dare let go of his deer's horns fearing it may prove a dream." I'm sure Allen and Felix ate well that winter.

Allen and Felix go a hunting

"Ready to start for camp November 12, 1916. Notice the bear traps on side of car. The 'jug' contains milk. Allen in car. Felix outside."
