PHOTOS - IDENTIFICATION NEEDED

 

If you have family photos connected to Vernon County, Missouri that you cannot identify, please send them to be posted here -- perhaps another researcher can identify the people or has the same picture with the peoples' names written on it.  Include what surnames might be connected with each picture you send and any other information that could possibly help another researcher identify them. (300 to 600 dpi jpg files are preferred)

4.  This is a very large photo taken by Whipple Studio in Nevada, MO.  This picture was taken on the steps of the then new Post Office at the corner of West Cherry and North Ash Streets. This building, now vacant, was most recently the Sheriff's office.  Note that this is the main entrance with lampposts and majestic columns on the south side of the building (W. Cherry Street), and the building had revolving doors at the time.  These may be the postal workers at the time this Post Office was built.  Can you help identify these men?  Click for a close-up of the men's faces.  Submitted by Lyndon Irwin.
