*Sun 9/12/2004 5:49 PM = I have include 2 copies of the photo of "The
Farmers Club", one with numbers corresponding to the following labels. The
photo was labeled on the back with these names and I matched them up to a news
article referencing this photo. I'm not 100% sure if they are correct.
(William & Elizabeth Marcy are my great, great grandparents). I don't believe
we are related to any of the others in the photo, and perhaps someone out
there would appreciate the photo. Ginny & Bob
