A number is handwritten by each person so there must have been a corresponding list to identify who's who by number. Unfortunately that does not seem to have survived.
This is an interesting photo when compared to Mystery Photo #3 which came from the Gilbert family collection. Compare the older codger with the wild double beard toward the upper right of Mystery Photo #5 to the younger gent toward the lower right of Mystery Photo #3, with the braided double beard. Same person? That would help confirm that Mystery Photo #3 is in fact an earlier "lost photo" of Noble & Cooley employees.
If you can shed any light on the who-and-when of Mystery Photos 3 or 5 please drop NCCHP an email at ncchp.org@gmail.com Thanks!
The Roberts family will celebrate their 135th Annual Family Reunion this weekend. We wish them a great time!
