Following information was on the back of this picture. Date taken: April 29, 1926

First Row from Left to Right: Juantia Gardner, Bob Koch, Yeat Adcox, Buck Becker, Ben Miller and Adv. Betty Rhodes

Author note: I have been told that Ben Miller was often called "Baptist Ben" for his willingness to share the Gospel with whoever happened to be near. Ben was the official scorer at Tremont High School Basketball games throughout my high school days from 1968 to 1972. I also attended Tremont United Methodist Church with Clyde Coddington and his wife. My dad, Henry, worked with Glen Becker for years. It truly is a small world in small town.
