From Marshall M.: [These are] pictures found in an old scrapbook that belonged to Thad Mantiply and his wife Sallie (Fisher) Mantiply.  Both were from Pike County, but moved to Bunkie, Louisiana around 1918.  Thad was my great grand uncle….he passed away in 1960.  Sallie’s sister, Hattie, married Robert L. Fishback.  I have more pics that I hope to send soon.  I hope someone will recognize them or at least help with their research.  I would love to hear from anyone that can identify those in the pics I’ve sent (I saw it posted in the recent update online).  It appears some pics were likely sent to Thad by friends in Pike County or taken during visits there.  There is a chance some might be from Lincoln County also…I’m just not sure.  Overall condition of the pics is poor.  They are VERY fragile.

“scan 2” (above) is a clipping from an unknown local newspaper from about March 1948.  Good family info.  Names include Benn, Hostetter, Robertson, Thornton, Holman, Cash, Oakes, Owens, Donovan, Lowry, and Somerville.  I’m not entirely sure why Thad had this clipping.
