GOODBYE, MOM AND POP
by Bill Whorrall.
Martin county will have many photos in a new book to be out around
Christmas 1999. Featured will be Mom and Pop businesses in southern
Indiana (35 counties). This book took 6 years to make. It includes
many interviews and hundreds of photos. This is a book that celebrates
new,
and old mom and pop businesses, the last drive-in movies, cafes, shoe
repair
shops, etc. are featured. If you cherish memories of these kinds of
places this
book is for you. To obtain a free folder that tells you about
the book, send
Bill Whorrall your email
address, or write to him at R.R.3 box: 24 Shoals, IN 47581.
As of Nov. '99 the book is being printed, scheduled to be out around
Dec. 15.
Can you identify these people?
These young men in these picture are descendants of Thomas Vandever
and wife #1 Nancy Davis or wife # 2 Hannah Glover and perhaps could be
a descendant of Thomas Evans and wife Elizabeth Halbert. The time frame
is probably late 1850s or 1860s. Anyone with information in regard to these
pictures, I would be happy to mail a good quality copy.
