WPA days in Edmonton, KY 2010-12-08 - Photo from Geneice Marcum collection. High Street & S. Main, Edmonton, KY A favorite old photo: "This old Edmonton picture shows where the women had their sewing projectduring the WPA program in the 1930s," writes Geneice Marcum. "In the back row, on the left, is Martha Pedigo Coleman, standing next to Lillie Martin. The photo was a favorite of the late Lovie Glenn "Gin" Marcum Hughes. The only names on the back were 'Estell, Jewell, and Angeline.' According to Gin, Frank Bell, a great friend of Gin's husband, Russell Hughes, always maintained that he built the fire for the project workers and showed the women how to cook."" The location appears to be on High Street; and the building on the left appears to be where James Floyd and Jean Pedigo later had a restaurant. Looking straight ahead, the building appears to be the old Ford Garage on South Main, with its ancient gas pump out front. That building at 207 S. Main ST, Edmonton, is now the home of the Barn Lot Theater. If anyone has additional information, please share using the Contact Form with this photo. Permalink | Comments?
