Still searching for info on Rev. Hulse photo Mike Watson is still working to track down location and the names of the men in the historic photo below.  Mike writes, "Can anyone identify these men, the location, or offer any additional information on this photograph? This is almost certainly a cornerstone laying ceremony for a church or religious building of some type. The only identified person is Rev. Frank Bennett Hulse, the man on the left of the three in the center, with his hat in his right hand. Therefore, it is most likely a Methodist group as he was a long-time Methodist minister, one of several in the Hulse family." The cornerstone says: "Jesus Christ The Chief Corner Stone" so this may be of some help in identifying the location.
