Unknown Groups

Here's some tricky ones, but I know somebody out there will know something about at least one of these photos from the Simmon's Studio collection of negatives.  Let's start with the oldest one first.  There are a few hints on this picture. Somebody wrote, "Atkins - glass copy" on top of this one although it is on more modern photographic film.


This looks like it was taken a century or more ago and just because it was found in the old Simmon's Studio in Warrensburg doesn't mean that it was taken in this county, this state, or even in this country.  By the way, see that boy on the far right in the back row.  I wonder what he has in his pocket.



Here's another school picture that doesn't look like it's more than 70 years old.  It is more than likely taken at a local school.  I look at those young faces and wonder if any are still alive and what they look like now.



It's hard to distinguish any of these faces.  But maybe someone will recognize the school gym:


Finally, here's an interior shot of a church with the whole congregation.  Does anyone know where this is and approximately when it was taken?

  1. The bottom one reminds me of the RLDS church on Market street. I'm not sure that's what it is, but maybe...?

    My guess is the prom pic is the Warrensburg HS. That looks like the Tigers logo on the wall above the basketball net.

    The basketball team looks like 60's or 70's. They're all at the senior center. They are all old, fat and bald now.

    Those kids in the top pic have some real snazzy clothes.

  2. The second pic is of the Warrensburg HS track team. Do not know what year probably after 1951. My 1950 Arrow shows the track team in the same uniforms.
