From the Border Cities Star – January 3, 1934:
- The 1934 Walkerville Town Council met for the first time at Willistead Tuesday and got all organized for a year of hard work. The new council, together with A. E. Cock, the town clerk, posed for this picture as they left the meeting. Front row, left to right: Councillors Griggs and Long, Mayor Farrow, and Councillors Martin and Chick; and back row, left to right: Mr. Cock and Councillors Cooper and MacMillan. Councillor Griggs is the new member of the town’s governing body.
Interesting this Mayor Farrow… his family still owns a company to this day.
Here’s a little history: http://www.farrow.com/farrow-history
I wonder if A.E. Cock, was one of the Cock Brothers store downtown in the 1940’s and ’50’s?
Good lookin bunch… I hope men start wearing hats again!
Too bad the plaque for the Walkerville viaduct went “magically” missing when they tore it down.
Great picture! They look like a group of Chicago gangsters from Capone’s days.
