Ironton Ohio Memorial Day Parade Photo – ca1946

While this looks like a scene from “It’s A Wonderful Life,” it is the Ironton Memorial Day parade. No date on the photo but this is likely the 1946 parade. What makes the picture so special for our family is that our Dad is pictured among the military marchers home from WWII. Ironton’s parade is the nation’s oldest continuously running Memorial Day parade, a tradition since 1868. Cool representation of patriotic Americana. Photo Courtesy Connie Dziagwa

We hear of foreign people becoming citizens of U.S. but here is a little different story. Person born U.S., gave up citizenship when she married foreign person and then applying to be U.S. citizen again. Haven’t heard of this before and thought maybe some of you might be interested in this fact also. Photo is F.K. Brown’s Grandmother.

Kelley’s Mill Covered Bridge

The Kelley’s Mill covered bridge (35-44-09) stood on CR 43 at Kelley’s Mills over Pine Creek in Elizabeth Twp., Lawrence Co., Ohio. Built in 1865, this bridge stood until the 1930s. L-R in this photo, we see the bridge, the dam, and the mill. Three previous covered bridges stood on this site from 1844-1850, 1850-1858, and 1858-1865. Photo Courtesy of Mark Howell
