Important people at Searcy AR long ago

This picture has been loaned by Ramona Palmer Riddle, who grew up in Searcy Arkansas and knew everyone! It even has the names on the back to tell us who they were.

City fathers in Searcy AR

Standing with the dirty apron was Bob Barlow and granddaughter. Year was 1947

Left to right were J. C. Hart, J. B. Plant, Elzie Darden, Carthel Angel, Melvin Phelps, Bud Collins, Tom Walker, Bud Moye, Orvil Rouse, Emil Hart, M. M. Garrison, Hubert Coward, Bill Price, Harold Humphey, Harry Price, F. P. Girkin, "Fat" Westbrook, Jake Nelson and Sam Lanier.

Where was this taken? Sleuths will surely say.

I enlarged and did a closeup of the guys so we can do a better scrutiny.

Now, there are two guys with the last name of Hart. One may be the father to our Anita "Tart" Fuller. And I really think the fourth from the front on the right is Henry Fonda. sigh......drool.....

Notice the old old jukebox in the rear of the room!!
