the photo collection of
ted & nancy quackenbush
Note #1 from the editor: I have to say that this is one of my favorite collections for the reason that Ted and Nancy came by the Argus one afternoon, just passing by, as my sister Sandy and I had JUST begun scanning the huge collection that the Historical Society has. That was in 2014. I remember being so proud of having scanned over 100. I shared ours with them, and they shared the many pictures they had with us, including a negative of the Hotel Murphy. Since then, we have stayed in touch. Ted meticulously combed the Argus for references to the hotels and the park and put them together in a booklet -- great reading. As of August 2017, he says he is on a roll in scanning the collection that he and Nancy have that they inherited from her Aunt Ruby.
Nancy's line especially includes the Alderman and Harris families, but what with marriages and so on, you will find photos of many Table Rock names that you recognize.
Note #2 from the editor: Most of the pictures have the names on them. However, Mr. Google can't read names on images and you can't do a "find." Therefore the same names on the images have been repeated next to them.

Of Photo 241, above, Nancy says, "We have never found names for any of the girls. I have compared the girl on far right to photo of Faye Harris (b. Nov 1909) taken with the 1926-27 girls basketball team and see a resemblance. The girl next to her has shown up in other photos-I think she is the one standing in doorway of the Hotel Murphy photo."
At the Hotel Murphy, sisters Ruby & Sylvia Shepherd
Here are Cleo, Ruby, Sylvia, and Lulu (Photo 3643).

Ted Quackenbush says about the picture above: Nello and Imo married in Feb 1924. This photo may have been taken a little before or after. Wish Nancy or me could determine exact ages (+/-1year) of the people in lots of the photos as it would sure help in dating them.
