Sunday spin in Towamencin


Ellis W. Kriebel shares this photo and these memories with us today — and what better time to remember happy times than on Christmas Eve?
Here is what Kriebel submitted:
“My father, Alpheus, appears ready to take the Kriebels for a Sunday afternoon spin from the farm located on Kriebel Road in Towamencin Township.
“The farm is now owned by R.E. and Pauline Walton.
“There wasn’t room for the boys in the car, so they sat on the running board for the picture.
“I’m not certain who the ladies are, but I believe the lady in the front seat is Deborah, Gerald’s mother, and the one in the back seat is Eliza Snyder Kriebel, my great-grandmother.
“The smallest lad, Roland, was born in 1913, so this photo was taken in the 1915-16 era.
“Does anyone know the name of the car?”
