This photo includes my mother, May Barringer and her sister, Helen Barringer. May married Judd Archer, Howard and Marion Archer’s son, in 1941. Hopefully, someone will be able to help us fill in some names. -Paula Hughson
Additional name:
From: Todd Henderson, May 5, 2016
The individual that I can identify is Lester Henderson and he is on the bottom row third from the left. He worked for the Reporter Co. for many years and retired in the early 1970’s. He passed away in 1979.
Since photo was put online, Linda Graves found identification as shown below:
Walton Reporter Photo of October 6, 1941
It appears that the Walton Reporter reprinted this photo and identified those in it at some later date. The year was not retained when my grandmother cut the article/picture from the newspaper. Helen Barringer went to work for the Walton Reporter after high school graduation in 1940 and moved from there in 1943, when she married. The picture is labeled with her married name. Helen Barringer Allmandinger remembers that each employee was given a copy of this photograph.
We divided the photograph into 3 sections for identification of people. Initially we relied on Helen’s memory, some now 74 years later!!! However, in plugging in the names from the newspaper, they matched! So, it was easy to put the two lists into one and feel that it is accurate within those guides.
First section starting with the picture’s lower left front row
1. John R. Clark
2. Alvin Griffin
3. Lester Henderson (ID by Todd Henderson too)
4. Howard Edwards
5. Thomas Doig
6. Mr. Clyde B. Merritt (Lived at the foot of Shepherd’s St.?)
7. Francis Tompkins and behind is John Howland
8. Francis Gadwood and behind is Fred Conklin
9. Glenn Petersen and behind is Harold Pierce and behind him, James Youmans
10. Clifford Dennis and behind is Lawrence Dutcher. These last men were part of the linotype operators. There were 6 linotype machines and 2 staffs were employed. How many were assigned depended on how many law briefs needed to be done.
