Identify People from Album

From Erin Bohannon: I acquired an old family album from an auction in Oregon, and many of the photos list an Odebolt photographer.  I was wondering if you might be able to identify any of the photos? Almost all the photos came from Odebolt, with a few others coming from other parts of Iowa.

I belong to several Facebook groups that acquire old photos and try to get them back to family.  This is something we do for free.  This old album has 25 photos.  A treasure trove of family history! Any help at all you can give me would be greatly appreciated.I would really love to get the album back to family. If you use the email just below, they will put you in contact with me.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Your Help Needed

Odebolt Historical Museum Roof Replacement

The museum building is in dire need of a new roof; the Board has received an estimate of $35,000 from Elevate Roofing.  The museum board has been busy researching and applying for grants and fundraising for the project.  

In order to apply for grants the museum needs to raise matching funds, so the museum is asking for your help by contributing to this worthwhile project.  The museum houses a wealth of Odebolt history and is a wonderful asset to those that do family research and to the community.

The 25-Year Creek Days T-shirt.

The 25 Year of Creek Days T-shirt quilt was completed by Joyce Mandernach Martiens Curtis, who graciously took on the job of designing and quilting. Many others helped Ann Hoefling find all of the T-shirts. The ODC sold raffle tickets for the King size quilt. All proceeds went to Creek Days. Glenda Housman was the lucky winner.

Celebrating their 50th Year Reunion during Creek Days was the Odebolt-Arthur Class of 1969.

Over the years, the Odebolt Development Corporation has donated a large amount of  the proceeds from Creek Days funds to local projects such as the Odebolt Community Center, the Odebolt Swimming Pool, Odebolt Cemetery, Odebolt Historical Museum, tennis courts, the Odebolt sign project, the O-A Education Foundation, as well as many local emergency services and youth groups.  

When you buy your Creek Days t-shirts, or tickets to Creek Days events, when you donate your money to support Creek Days or donate your time to volunteer at Creek Days, you are contributing to your community!
