A photo of Orosi's football team, from 1898.
There's a poster in the window at the left side of this image,  and it's possible to make out some of what's written there: "CHRISTMAS SPORTS",  "REEDLEY",  "SATURDAY DECEMBER 24TH  1898"...
The 12/29/1898 issue of  The Reedley Exponent  has an article about these "Christmas Sports" events, which included a football game between Orosi and Selma  (Selma won 22 to 6).

Close-up:

This team seems pretty well equipped.  e.g.  Some of the players here have nose armor  which was state-of-the-art stuff for football in the 1890's.

Photograph by E.R. Higgins of Fresno,  circa 1890.   The name "Irene Antrim" is written at the bottom of the photo.    I believe this is Irene Emily Antrim (1882-1917).   Her family lived in the Orosi, CA area at this time.  She was the daughter of  Dr. Hiram Antrim and Isabella M. Furtney.  They moved to California from Iowa  sometime around 1888.   Her father,  Hiram,  died of pneumonia in 1891.   Irene died at the age of 34,  in Dinuba.      She was married to Edwin Burdette Chase and  they had two children.

Another photograph by E.R. Higgins of Fresno,  circa 1890.   I bought this from the same person who sold me the photo of Irene Antrim (above).    Written on this photograph:  "C.H. Antrim  Jr.".   I believe that this is an image of Irene's little brother  Calvin Hiram Antrim (1889-1961).       Most likely  his grandfather was the 'senior'  C.H. Antrim being referred to (His name was Calvin Hackney Antrim,  e.g.  Apparently he sometimes just went by "C.H.").    C.H. Jr.  was born in Orosi and died in Fresno at the age of 72.   He was married to Cora Rodeck  and they had at least one child.

Photo postcard of Tulare Avenue, Tulare CA.  Circa 1908.    I believe that his was taken looking east on Tulare Ave.,  from J Street.

 This is a scan from a glass negative I recently acquired.   It's an image of Porterville's Red Cross Chapter during World War I  (1917).   This office was in the upstairs of the Putnam Pioneer Store on Main St.      The photograph is by Hammond Studio of Porterville.

(Added 12/15/13)  This appears to be another view of Porterville's WWI Red Cross Chapter in the upstairs of the Putnam Pioneer Store.   I count about 120 workers here.   The sign at the lower right side states:  "Visitors are Not Admitted.   Only workers with cap and apron allowed in Surgical Dressing Dept.     All workers must wash their hands before working in surgical dressings".         This is a scan from the glass negative which has unfortunately suffered a lot of damage,  which limits the view somewhat.

 Photograph by E. M. Davidson of Visalia.   Written on the back of the photo:  "Lilburn Dunn,  Clara May Dunn   (Center)  Wedding Picture".   And with a different pen someone has written "Father" and "Mother" next to the Dunn couple's names.   Tulare County marriage records list a Lilburn Dunn and Clara M. Hilliard marriage on  4/23/1890.

Photo postcard of Porterville, CA,  circa 1910.   The photograph is by George Besaw  (Western Postcard Company).    This photo was taken looking north on Main St., between Oak and Mill  Avenues.     The Putnam Pioneer Store (mentioned with the Red Cross photo above) is the building here with the two pointy roof spires.

Porterville High School  football team,  1920.   (Scanned from the glass negative).   The team is posed in front of the school's  El Granito  building.    I found a partial list of names for the team members,  and I attempted to match the names to the players in this image, e.g.  Using old yearbook senior class photos, etc.    Here's what I came up with, (the players are listed from Left to Right):

Back row (Standing):  3rd player from the Left: Clyde Hubbs,   next to him (4th from L.):  Everett Cattaneo.   8th from the Left:  Sherrill Halbert.   9th from L:   Elrino Neher.   10th:  Roy Vincent.   11th:  D.R. Lightner (coach).

Middle row (kneeling):   1st from Left:  Calvin Stewart.   2nd from L:   Henry (or Oliver?) Peak.  3rd: Walter Premo.   4th: Taylor Perry.   5th: Jack Newbury.   8th from L:   Nelson Smith.

And sitting in the front row,  4th from the L:   Gilbert Velie.

A couple of close-ups:

Kern Street in Tulare, CA.  (Circa 1914).   This is a view looking west,  near the corner of Kern Ave. and K Street.

Written on the back of this photograph:  "Uncle Willie",  "Cigar & Candy Store",  "Lindsay  Calif."

Photo circa 1908.   It looks like there's a small telephone switchboard at the left side of this image.

 Porterville High School Girls basketball team, 1918.    This is a scan from the glass negative.  The two girls sitting front center  by the basketball are probably the Sheela sisters, Valetine and Frances (I'm not sure which is which).    Behind the Sheela sisters, in the white dress  is their coach,  Miss Meighen.   The girl in the back row, furthest to the left is Henrietta Cornell.   Back row, furthest to the right, appears to be Elizabeth Velie.  And in the back row, 2nd from the right is Ann Henry.

A photo postcard of  El Monte Way,  Dinuba CA.   Circa 1907.      I would guess that this photo  was taken somewhere near the present day corner of El Monte Way and J Street.  e.g.  The two story house on the left,  with the upstairs balcony,  looks a lot like the home that is presently on the NW corner of El Monte Way and Villa Ave (Next to Dinuba City Hall).    See next image

(Added 1/6/17)  Here's a present-day view of  El Monte Way near the same location.

From a photo postcard of Camp Sierra, which was  in the Giant Forest area of Sequoia National Park.   Circa 1910.
