Sherwood - Pictures and comments from Frank Gorsline - Posting #4

Some more pictures sent to me from Frank with his comments. Pictures from he Riley Farms.  The first picture is of Erny Rosenberry, foreman of the Riley Farms.  He was a super guy and always worked harder than any of us hired for the farm.  Erny graduated from UCHS in 1942.  He was a baseball player for UCHS, and a terrific fast pitch pitcher.  He was one of the best pitchers I ever had the privilege of catching.  (Erny is the guy standing beside the Farmall  tractor in the second picture).  I drove that thing for a lot of hours on the farm. The farm was on Arbogast Road in Union City.

Sherwood - Pictures and comments from Frank Gorsline - Posting #3

Some additional pictures sent to me from Frank Gorsline from Sherwood for the 1950's.
Frank shoveling snow at Williamson's Phillip 66 Station.
 Removing snow from in front of Williamson's Phillip 66 Station on Main Street in Sherwood.
Snow piled up along Main Street in Sherwood.  The empty lot on the left is where the Sherwood House once stood.
Wadsworth's Garage looking North on Main Street. They were a Marathon station. Next door on same side was Kaechle's General Store (they sold everything). The open area between the General Store and the next building, the Phillips 66 station owned by Pat and Helen Williamson, was where the Sherwood House was located.
Men playing cards in the Pool Hall at Williamson's Phillip 66.
I didn't know everyone who came in to play cards at the pool hall, the only one I remember in the picture was Clancy Hicks...the man seated on the right with cap on his head.  I played a lot of pool, but never was allowed to play cards.
