No. 3 - Unidentified picture in a box of family heirlooms belonging to Lindle Washington POWERS and his wife Mary Louise SHEPARD POWERS. Only clue -- I have seen photo's like this in the O'Brien County 1978 History book -- they are identified as "school photo's". Could this be a school class picture?

No. 5 - This is a road paving crew in Sheldon, Ia about 1930. The man second from right is Charles William Morris, my grandfather. He married Mary "Mamie" Peters. Her father ran a harness shop in Sheldon before 1900. I don't know any of the other men. If you do, contact the O'Brien site coordinator. Picture courtesy of Mary (Blessing) Boneschans.
