The Icon needs some help from viewers concerning this photo. It's from the historic photo collection at the Ada Public Library. All we know are the names of the women.
They are from left, Bessie Lamb, Z. Lavernne Daring, Lena Sousley, Gladys Welsh (names typed as spelled on document.)
The question is, what's the story behind the photo?
Our best guess - and it's only a guess - is an Ada fundraiser, membership drive, voter drive, war bond drive. There a telephone in the photo and some serious focusing on lists. And, what year would you place on this photo?
