Classic birthday recalled: at 701 Jamestown St, 1954

Still Partying!

Ann Heskamp Curtis found a birthday party picture from Jamestown Street in 1954, when Susan Russell Miller (now Upchurch) was 10 years old.




Ann Curtis wrote, "The accompanying photo was taken in the front yard of the Russell and Loraine Miller residence at Susan Russell's 10th (?) birthday party, which would have been on August 31, 1954.# I can identify just about everyone in the photo and astute viewers will be able to see your (705 Jamestown ST, Waggener) childhood home barely visible beyond the trees on the right. The other house in the left background was the Byron Montgomery, where the man with the mysterious job of "guager" lived with his daughter, Louise, but maybe, by this time, Mr. Montgomery had died and Louise Montgomery Conover and her husband, Ernest Conover, lived there."

The party locale was at the corner of Heskamp and Jamestown Street, where the front parking lot of UCB Bank is today.

Those in attendance, as remembered by Ann Heskamp, are as follows:

Bobby Beard, Carrie Beard, Connie Ruth Booher, Betty Lou Breeding, Benny Burr, Betty Burr, Charlotte Cheatham, Billy Conn, Charles Gore, Nancy Hancock,

Also, Peggy Harper, Ann Sutton Heskamp, Benny Heskamp (Ann's cousin visiting from Cleveland, OH), Ricky Hood, Donnie Howell, Terry Howell, Louella Hutchison, Gordon Kelsey, Donald Knifley, Connie Sue Lowe,

Also, Jimmy McGowan, Jimmy Marshall, Susan Russell Miller, Jean Moore, Jane Moran, Sue Miller Nell, Patty Phelps, Julia Ann Pickett, Jerry Pyles, Ronnie Rogers, Ralph Roy Waggener, Emma Laverne Woody, and five kids whom she can't remember.
