Then and now

Joe McClure of Sylva shared this photo of a quilting at the Addie Community Building around 1955. Quilters include Gladys Henson, Dorcas Parris, Viola Jones, Martha Bryson, Mrs. Garland Dillard, Audrey Springer Evie Parris, Lou Cogdill, Sue Cogdill, Essie Mull, Lou Johnson, Helen Bryson, Edith Jones, Mrs. Moody and Joe’s mother, Nettie McClure, center front. He wasn’t sure of the identity of the children or of the woman to Nettie McClure’s left. Those with more information about the photo may call the newsroom at 586-2611 or e-mail lynn@thesylvaherald.com. The Sylva Herald publishes either a “Then and Now” or “Back Then” feature on a weekly basis. Readers who have photos taken in Jackson County that are at least 25 years old and include a recognizable feature (such as an existing building, highway, mountaintop or ridgeline) are invited to submit them for use in “Then and Now.” Other interesting photos will be considered for “Back Then.” Photos can be dropped off or mailed to the newspaper office. As a convenience to those who would prefer not to let their cherished photos out of their sight, Herald photographer Nick Breedlove will scan photos Tuesday and Wednesday mornings between 10 and 11 a.m. Those with questions about potential “Then and Now” or “Back Then” photos may contact Breedlove at 586-2611, ext. 310, or nick@thesylvaherald.com.
