Volga City Baseball Team, undated photo
ca 1895 - early 1900's
| This photo
was discovered in my Mother's things. We had not seen
before. It is a baseball or softball team picture.
They have shirts on with Volga City on them and bats and
gloves on the floor. Ibelieve my grandfather, A.C.
"Bert" Fobes (top row standing, 2nd from left). He moved to
Volga about 1895 from Ohio. He was a teacher and
worked in the Post Office and I think a census
enumerator. My grandmother lived in Volga with her
parents J.W. & Rosetta Hold who ran the mill in
Volga. Bert Fobes married Elsie Hold 23 June 1903
and began farming in Clayton County. I would love to know
the year of the photo, and anything else anyone can tell
me about it. Marylea Gazette -photo contributed by Marylea Gazette, from her personal collection. If you can ID any of the other men in the photo or can date it, please notify the Clayton co. coordinator or contact Marylea. Her email address is in the Surname Registry for 'Fobes'. |
