I’m looking for any info about Otho Clyde Grate. He was worn in 1890 and was my grandfather. Married to Vesta A. Thomas in MO. Thanks, Dinah

Dinah,
Thanks for your inquiry. I will ask around, however I have not found an Otho Clyde Grate in our area. I will still look and see what I can find.
Thanks again,
AHS moderator.

I have a picture of an Atwater Semi-pro football team, The Atwater Independants, taken in 1921 along with the names of all the players.
My father, Murray Brockett and his brother, Carol, was on the team.
I am trying to find any information I can about the team. Can you help and do you have this picture? If not are you interested in a copy?
Thanks, Garth

I am looking for any information regarding my Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother Mr. and Mrs. Rufus A. Harding who were living in Atwater in 1907. I have a postcard dated 17 Oct 1907 addressed to “Mrs. R.A. Harding, Atwater, OH”. I think they may have lived on Railroad Street. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Orin Harding
