I heard today from Bill Kath, who'd recently found this website. He is the son of Edward Kath, grandson of William and Anna, and grew up on a farm at the intersection of highway 75 and highway 55, just west of Tenney. Bill was kind enough to send this photograph of a youth baseball team in Tenney. Bill estimated, based on his father's appearance in the photo, that this photo was taken in about 1924. If that is the case, this photo was taken four years prior to the year in which the Tenney Quilt was made. Kind of a cute little bunch, wouldn't you say? From left to right, these young men are: Robert Prichard, Herb Janke, Paul Roser, Andrew Larson, Edward Kath, Ralph Larson, Warren Kapitan, Robert Schmidt, and Orval Wittman. Jimmy Sheik is sitting in the front. If anyone else has identifiable, old-time Tenney photos to share, send them to me at tenneyquilt@yahoo.com, and I'll share them.
