 photo postcard image of a parade on Dinuba's  L Street, circa 1911.    The Gustie Building  is at the left side  (It's on the corner of  L and Tulare Streets).    I'm guessing that this photograph was taken from the balcony of  Commercial Hotel.


Photo postcard, circa 1914.    The Tuesday Club was a Lindsay women's club.


Photo postcard from Tulare, circa 1918.   This building still stands on North J Street,  it's the structure which now has the old Adorh Milkmaid and Cow statue  at it's front.

A small portrait by George E. Dean of Visalia, circa 1875.


Another photo by the Visalia studio of George E. Dean, circa 1875.


Photograph of Ethel Jane Fewel (1892-1959). The photo is dated April 8, 1895.     From Beck studio in Visalia.      
Ethel married Leslie Ripperdan Hamilton (of Visalia & Lindsay) in 1913, they had at least 4 children.


An old photo postcard of Tulare, circa 1907.    This is an image of K Street looking northerly,  taken between Kern and Tulare Avenues.   
The City Hall/Firehouse is at the near left side (with the small bell-tower on top).


Photograph by E.A.S. Wyllie, Tulare CA. Circa 1887.    The name "Frank Tilly" is written on the back.     So far, I haven't had any luck finding information about Mr. Tilly.


From the Tulare studio of E.A.S Wyllie. Circa 1890.  
On the back of the photo is written "Lizzie Dover".    I believe this is a photograph of  Elizabeth Dover (born 1874).   See the photograph just below...

I bought this photograph from the same person who sold me the image of  "Lizzy Dover".
It's also from  E.A.S Wyllie's Tulare studio,  circa 1890.   "Eva Dover" is written on the back of the photograph.   I believe this is Eva May Dover (born 1879), the younger sister of Elizabeth Dover.    They are the children of Jesse B. Dover and Elizabeth Keefer.
Tulare County marriage records indicate that their mother re-married a man named  Nevada M. Dobson, in 1890.  


Postcard image from Exeter.   Postmarked 12/8/1910.     In the message on the back of the card, it mentions that the First National Bank in this image (left side) was robbed in 1909.    The bank robbers used dynamite which destroyed the bank's vault.
