We have Joyce Foote to thank for this photograph of the Wellman Block on Main St in Morris. The building was razed about 1965 to make way for an automatic telephone exchange. Clippings shared by Mary Valentine.
Main St was still without pavement in photo shared by Gary Norman on Facebook on March 3, 2023.
A discussion of the photos captured on FB can be viewed in the .txt file linked below.
Memorabilia from the collection of Mary Valentine and her sister Kathryn Roffe from the Morris Centennial Celebration held July 23 - 26, 1970 in Morris, NY. Low resolution images of the program are shown below to see a high resolution version click on the image. The larger image will open in a new window which you can close to return here. The back cover of the program was left blank. The program was printed on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper, stapled and folded.
Reading through the program long time Morris residents will see a lot of names that they recognize but few that they can speak with today.
