Fort Knox, Wilder, and Covington, KY: House Fire 1957

After no results on other photos from this album, which I posted in 2015 I thought I'd scan some more photos from the same album. To see other photos from this album search Fort Knox, Wilder, and Covington, KY. These photos are of a house fire, dated 1957. No other notations as to location.

This could be a training exercise for the Wilder, KY fire department as there are photos in the album from the grand opening an dedication of a fire station in Wilder in 1967. I'm not sure if they did training fires in 1957 like they do now.

Yarger at Great Lakes Naval Hospital 9 South 1965

I bought a photo album on eBay about 15 years ago. It had belonged to a Navy Nurse named Catherine Cirilli Casey, who was career Navy. So far I know she was stationed at Chelsea, Oakland, Guam, and Great Lakes. I did locate her family, which consisted of step-children, who had no interest in the album or the photos. Most of the photos are undated and no names but this photo is dated and includes two names: Yarger and Williams, Don. I don't know if Yarger is the man standing, who I assume is a corpsman, or the nurse at the desk. The nurse is an ensign. I am thinking, because of the way the writing is that Yarger is more likely the nurse but I am not positive. The date is 2 June, 1965.

Peggy Foss Tugboat/Foss 204 Carrier Ship

This photo album, which I bought on line several years ago has zero names of individuals in it. The photos are of a couple with a young son who seem to live aboard a ship or boat of some type. The photos are taken in the mid to late 1950's. There are several photos of a Peggy Foss boat, which google shows is a tugboat although it looks different than what I think of as a tugboat, and a larger ship Foss 204. Google shows these belonged to Foss Maritime Company. This seems like a needle in a haystack but maybe this family can be identified and the album returned. There are about 75 photos.

Update 7/25/2023: One of the photos of the little boy has the name Kevin on the back. They seemed to be in the Seattle area. 

There's also the name Barbra (sic) Paull on the back of one photo, a photo with no person in it. And there's an address, which can only be partly seen because of tape. The address is 92 ?, Seattle. There is a Barbara Paull in the 1940 Census who lives at 924 Sixteenth Avenue, and she works for a steamship company. There is a Barbra Paull Gordon died in 1992.

Homer Ornsby

This is a stand alone photo postcard, which I will send to a documented family member. The postcard was printed by Rensler's, 925 Vine Street, Cincinnati. The photo was in the Asher/Slusher/Howard/Dickson photos from the area of Pineville, KY and purchased in a bag of photos at a Goodwill store. It is labeled Homer Ornsby.

Emerson Album List of Names

This is a list of all the names in the Emerson Album. I will try to list them in alphbetical order by first names. There is one unnamed photo of a man at Ohio State. Several of the women were art students in a college in a city, possibly Boston or NYC, there are many photos of beaches in Maine,  and summers seemed to have been spent at an Emerson House or Emerson Dorms.
