CHANEYSVILLE CLOSE-UPS
- Regina Williams of Chaneysville,
PA. has sent some information on the above picture. Regina says
that the store on the left belonged to Harry Aaron. (Is anyone
researching the Aaron Line?) She has names written on her copy
of this photo and they indicate that some of the people on front
of the store on the left are: Elza McElfish, Henry Aaron, and
__?___ Ratcliff.

- Sept. 9, 2000 - Jerry Miller
Tanker06@aol.com writes to say that his father believes that
the person standing on the porch of the Aaron store (above),
just to the right of the steps and in front of the window, was
Gernia McELFISH. That would be Jerry's G - Grandfather.
-
- Regina's photo indicates
that Clayton Lee is wearing the white bib overalls on the porch
of the store on the right. Notice that the sign over the porch
possibly says: "A. L. Tewell - General Merchandise".
There is a sign in the window over Clayton's hat that says: "Post
Office". The post card (below) was probably sent from this
store at about the time the picture was taken.
The sign for the Chaneyesville
Hotel is directly behind the boy who is wearing the black hat
and standing on the corner of the porch of the Tewell Store.
I wish to thank Regina for
providing the answer to the question of who owned the store on
the left. She also mentioned that the store now belongs to John
& Janice Trail of Chaneysville, PA. Perhaps now with these
extra clues we might be able to identify some of the others in
the picture.
