Interesting Photo Hunt Unknown Men

[Ole Granny]

Please take a look at the photo.  Does anyone recognize any of the men in the picture? 

[Wilma]

None of the men look familiar to me but the title of the picture does.  My maternal grandparents were Lowrey which was often spelled without the e or ery instead of rey.

Ole Granny, Myrna will send that to her Mother and I am pretty sure she will know some of them. My guess is they were Irene's neighbors when she was growing up.

My dad was a Lowry.  The photo was from a family album.  No one looks familiar to me.  Pretty sure it was from Elk Falls or Howard area.
Dad always spelled his Lowry - Lowry.  No E - very adament about it.  Come to find out his grandfather spelled Lowry with an E.  Most people have always thrown in the e and I always wondered why.  Now I know.

Was the e before the r or after the r or do you know?

[Ole Granny]

Believe the e was before the r.  The family has been traced back to Greene County, TN.  Most of the Lowery's there spell it Lowery or Lowrey.  I found it spelled in a census in Iowa or Illinois (can't remember now) Loury and one spelled Lourie.  That I'm sure was just the census taking.  Not sure people cared how their name was spelled as many could not read and write.  Some of my mother's family lived in Sevier Conty, TN which is the neighboring county to Greene County.  The families spread north to Ohio, Illinois and Iowa and some to the south.  Then to Kansas and Colorado and they met in Colorado while dad was visiting his brothers.  When she rode the bus back to Kansas to marry my dad, she was scared to death.  Thought Kansas was desolute but grew to love the area as my dad did.

Frank or Myrna,

Where did Irene live in Elk Falls?  My grandparents lived south of the railroad tracks on the main street -west side.  Guess that is all  there is on the west side south of the tracks.  House burned but is a trailer there now.  Believe the old barn is there still and the cellar. Oh, so many memories.

Mother grew up 5 miles north of Elk Falls.  Go across the new bridge on Hwy 160 and north.  Her aunt & uncle lived a mile north and back to the west as did her Grandmother Green.  Her Mother's parents lived in town (Ky & Lucy Morris) directly south of where the cafe is now.  In fact, Mother said that the rock and the barn wood in the cafe came from Grandpa Morris' barn.
We sometimes take her to eat down there (when the cafe is open) and she enjoys it.

Her grandfather also helped build the mill there.  A relative to a relative on mine (on Dad's side) built a model of the mill and had it at the Outhouse Festival this past year.  I believe that the Fry's have it on display in their pottery shop now.  Steve Fry had it built for them.  The house that Fry's live in was once the one just west of O&B Oil Company and belonged to my Great Aunt and Uncle (Lon & Pearl Green).  Fry's had it moved south where they live now.

Frank printed the picture of the hunters and enlarged it, and I'm getting it ready to send to her now to see if she can help identify anyone in it.

I believe the Lowry's lived north of Elk Falls  on the river road at one time.  Not exactly sure where.  Probably would have been when dad was a boy or maybe before him.  He was the baby of a family of nine (I think).

"OLE GRANNY", Myrna's mother says your Dad's family did live on the River Road, not far out of town. They later moved into Elk Falls.
