This picture was sent to a previous CC by a Vermillion County resident who
scanned it from an old newspaper. The published copy probably appeared in one of the Vermillion County papers in the mid 1960's. It appears to have been taken in front of the Quaker School. The following caption accompanied the photograph:
This picture goes back 70 years to the days when the Quaker community was a thriving little town. The photo is the property of Mrs. Charles V. (Pearl) Hughes of Quaker. She has numbered the people in the picture whom she could identify and she says it is a group of members of the Modern Woodsman Lodge No. 4491 which thrived back in 1896 or so. Note the sign in the background. Following are the names of some of the Members of the lodge pictured:
1. B.F. Noble (grandfather of Mrs. Pearl Hughes);
2. Will Ellis (father of Ester Moore);
3. Bert Cooke;
4. Noah Dixon (preacher);
5. Elmer Davis (school teacher);
6. John Castle (grandfather of Mary Walthall);
