DIAMONDS AUTO CLUB
MYSTERY- Johnny Jones brought in this photo from a Hamilton High School 1961 yearbook last week. He and his friends have shown the photo to several folks and gotten very few answers as to who is pictured. The car club started in 1959 and disbanded in 1963 or 1964, then restarted for a few years in the late 1970s. A group that meets at the courthouse on Sunday evenings would like to start it up again, but would like to know the story behind it and this photograph. Where is this house? Who are these young men? Jones said the first group met in Alton Bullard’s garage just off the square. The second group met in an old city building. The first vehicle in the photo belonged to Billy Hamilton, who is pictured far left. The pickup belonged to Bobby Glen Guest, and the Studebaker to someone named Gromatzky. Also in the photo are Addis Paul Elmore, Cecil Guest, Don Vick and Bobby Drake, but no one knows who is who. If anyone knows, call the newspaper office at 386-3145 or email maria@hhnpaper.com.
PROGRESS-
PROGRESS- Last week’s Hamilton Herald-News featured a photo of the Partain house moving from its longtime address at the corner of Main and Howard. This week there is no sign of any of the houses that formerly occupied the block across from Ranglers on Highway 36 west as workers poured the slab for a new Family Dollar store on Monday.
