Hamlet Snow Storm circa 1910-1920
Posted: Mon November 4, 2013, 7:41 pm
This pic features one of the two main streets in Hamlet for sure. I have no idea when this image was taken but estimate it to be between 1910 and 1920 just due to the apparent youth of my grandfather (Dick Cosby) seated on far right looking to his right. On the reverse of the image are the following names and their order is not given:
Davis Pillow
Jasper O’Brien
----
----
Shem Blackley
----
Carl Gaddy
“Mimp” Milham Birmingham
Cliff Neimyer
In Front – Frank Medlin
Dick Cosby
Web Milham
If anyone can help fill in the other names I would sure love to hear from them. One last thing, I looked over the entire pic with a magnifying glass to look for building names, etc. but the only thing readable was the street sign on the far left, to the right of the telephone pole. It says, "Get it at Lackey Bros." There is a sign on the second to last building on the right but almost impossible to read. Under magnification, it appears to start with an "R" and perhaps has three other letters. Very difficult. There is also what appears to be a sign just below the Lackey Bros. sign, perhaps standing on end. If it is, it appears to say "1918" but it could be something else or even an address sign. There is a sign on top of the building in the distance on the far left. It is indistinct but could possibly be the Terminal Hotel. Not sure of dates for it and if so, it appears to be on wrong side of the street. Can provide a high res copy of this if anyone wants to look closer. Thanks, Wayne Cosby
