I am helping my daughter research her birth family, the Campbells of
Pershing and Humboldt Counties. In a group of old scanned photos we were
given is a photo of the Lovelock Owls baseball team. I am not good at dates
but it looks to me about 1910. It is a formal team photo with players in
uniform
and three men in business suits. One man in a top hat has a handle-bar
moustache. Another man in suit at the back is holding a pen poised over a
pad of paper. There is a separate photo with names:
"Left to right:
1. _____, 2. Emmet Reid, 3. Charlie McKay, 4. Walter Davis, 5. Cecil B., 6.
Ellison
1. George Riddle, 2. Jimmy Pine, 3. Francis Reid, 4. Howard Riddle, 5. Bert
Stokes(?)
1. Will Silverwood, 2. Will Lane, 3. Linkon Cotton, 4. Chet Young, 5. Fred
Greston (Preston?)

I understand this photo was on the top of a cigar box. The original has
been turned over to the Lovelock Museum. I thought someone on this list
might be interested, as it shows some local people. I know a Will
Silverwood married Coral Glen McCollum in Lovelock about 1910.
