The Good Old Days - Memories

These photos were contributed by Buddy French (GHS CLASS 62), of the early days of # 7, Elbert.


Elbert - Filbert Grade School August 17, 1924

This was the good old days, this scene has changed a bit since 1924 . Hard to believe its been 86 years since this photo was taken.

Elbert - Filbert Grade School August 3, 2009

It seems mother nature is reclaiming her land, it won`t be long before she has completed her quest.  Unlike many other small towns , there is not much through traffic here, the only reason a non-resident  would be here is because he is totally lost or he wants to be here??

Elbert August 17, 1946

Look close you will see a man trimming the hedges, and a boy on the sidewalk in front of the house .  Can you place which house this is , I am not sure ??

Elbert August 17, 1946

Note that this house is directly across the street from the old recreation center. Also note the wash tubs hanging on the back porch and the entrance to the cellar.

Elbert August 17, 1946

Can you name any of these boys, or the house?........think about it!  The young man bottom right looks familar??

B.H. Barksdale Elbert August 17, 1946

Note the old type radio and the radiator, this had to be a bosses house.

Elbert August 17, 1946 , E.R. Kunz ad family

Does this name ring a bell? note its a duplex house, another family on the other side.

Elbert August 17, 1946, E.R. Kunz and family

Maybe this photo will ring a bell, anyone know these folks?
