Tuesday Tidbit-Photograph

Mary Fern Long at the Carroll Street bridge, Richmond Road circa 1917—Leona Byars

While this photograph may not be distinct in the scene displayed, it still has some significance. The photographer, Leona Jackson Byars, daughter Rose Murrer Bagin, was best friend with Mary Fern Long who married Jim Nutting, an attorney and one time  Lassen County District Attorney.

In the background on top of the hill is the 200 block of South Gay Street. Many of today’s existing homes have not been built.
