7. Charter Members

   Charter Members - This is a photo taken by the Berne Studio that, according to the notation on the back, is a picture of the Charter Members of S. S. Class #33. This doesn't tell me what church they belonged to, but because it's in the First Mennonite Church binder, I assume they are members of that church. They are posing in front of someone's house, from the looks of it, I think it might be the parsonage. It's a large house with a wide front...
