Shown here posing in front of the little building across from Albert’s Barber Shop of today, (which for many years was the town’s post office, and offices of the Beavertown Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and other things) are five children who we will identify with the names they had then. From left to right in row one are Charlotte Ettinger (deceased), Ernest Rhamstine and Marjorie King. In the back row we find Ruth Ritter and Dorothy Ettinger. We don’t know who owned the boy’s bicycle shown.

(What ever happened to the boy, Ernest Rhamstine, shown here? Answer next month.)

Names such as Albert, Wetzel, Musser, Cover, Rine, Beaver, Follmer, Miller, Weiser, Heintzelman, and Snyder are no longer here.
