The participants, shown above, are the Howard brothers,
James and Benson Howard, and the Clemons brothers
(foreground), Donald and James, with Pauline Gardner Howard.
The Ainsworth brothers, Willard and Archie, were unable to
participate on this date, but plan to attend the follow-up
session with the Howards and the Clemons in December.
All grew up in Bartlett Village from the 1920s through the
1940s. They shared stories of their families as well as life in
the village, and spoke of the interesting "characters" in the
village at that time.
The map on the wall behind Jim Clemons is an 8-foot
enlargement of an 1896 birds-eye-view map of Bartlett Village,
which will be the basis of an extensive cataloging of village
businesses and residences, starting the 1900 US census. The
goal is to identify as many families as possible. Eventually, the
Society hopes to move forward, using this map, to trace the
occupancy of each home.
