People in Silver City, Idaho

The following pictures are taken from three personal photo albums of Wilbur Leonard, my grandfather, who passed away earlier this month. Most of them appear to be pictures he took while growing up in Silver City. He was born in 1914, so my guess at the dates of the pictures would put them sometime around +/- 1930. Many of the pictures have people from the community and friends that I cannot identify. I am hoping that any with ties to Silver City will be able to identify family members or those you know in these pictures. Feel free to email or comment on any individuals you may know. Almost all of the original pictures are 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" in size.

Wonderful photos! Thank you taking the time to scanning them.

Yes, I also think he is in Book 1 Page 30 Image 1 and (1 13 1) and (1 12 4). There is also a possibility that he is at the far bottom right of (1 39 1)?

I believe that the man standing next to Willie (with the glasses) in image 1 30 1 is a Hawes, but I don't have proof of that yet.

This man with glasses also shows up in image 2 31 1 at the far right standing next to Lillie Hawes, whose face is mostly obscured, but is sitting at the table.

Hello Jonathan, Bk 2, Im 12 pages 4 and 5 are of my father, Leslie Leonard Crutcher. 5 is with Bill Leonard and 4 is with one of his brothers but I can't remember which one (Ed?). The photos are quite interesting and I remember meeting Willie back in the early 60's.

Thanks Mark - Is Leslie the one with the strap across his chest?

The answer is yes. The other two men are your Grandfather's brothers. I knew Bill the best as he also lived in CA and his wife Naomi used to babysit me before they had children of their own (3 boys).
