The old photograph printed to-
day was submitted by Mrs. f. II.
Dilley, of Route /, Oakland, who
recalls the event as an activity of
the Knights of Pythias, the date
probably 1900
Mrs. Dillcy said she is able to
identify several of the persons
pictured, and stated The third
man from the right, second row
up from bottom with straw hat is
my uncle, the late Simon Myers.
Directly above him and to his
right is HopWood KildoW, and
above TO the left is Isaiah Haun.
Directly in front of him is c. d.
Shaffcr, Sr.
Others in the picture which
can identify are Dr. Henry w.
McComas, James Painter, Oscar
Kitzmiller and John Menhorn.
also in the photograph are at
least two living members, A. D.
Naylor and NJ. v Kildow, who
probably recall more of the event
than | do"
Mrs. Dilley said she believed
the occasion to have been d picnic,
but was not certain of the location.
Judging from the blossoms on the
trees, it must have been in the
early spring.
Mrs. Dilley has also supplied us
with other photographs which
should be of interest in other
sections of the county, and which
