Photograph clipped from the Greer Citizen, Wednesday, November 7, 1984. Shows a wagon full of people on Trade Street on August 8, 1911. The building on the left is Charlie Drace's photo studio; that building was torn down and replaced by the Bennett Building (now Barista Alley). The building in the center is gone and is now the open patio for Los Portales, which now stands in this photo's center-right gap. The house in the picture was on the corner of Trade and Victoria Streets, and was the home of Dr. R. L. and Emma Marchant.
The group in the photo had just returned from a day's outing to Powder Springs near Duncan. It included Homer Howell, Annie Berry, Minnie Howell, Gus Lister, Herb Henry, Mary Ballenger, Carl Howell, "Little" Jim Howell, Jamie Johnson, Allen Green, Flora Johnson, Nora Berry, Agnes Mosteller, Clara Ballenger, Florence Henry, and Edna Ballenger.
Photograph of the town square, located where the P&N depot is now, about 1908. This is almost certainly a photograph of a Sales Day, which functioned much like a farmer's market. Taken from the 2nd-floor balcony of the Raymond Hotel at the corner of Randall and Trade. The large building complex in the top right is the Greer Cottonseed Oil Company, and most of the buildings to its left are either cotton or cottonseed warehouses, or guano (fertilizer) warehouses. See the annotated image for the identification of each known building. On the far left is a white building; this was the first town hall. At the time of this photograph, it was reportedly being used as the town jail. The small gazebo beside it is a well. The buildings along the top are all lining the Southern railroad tracks; the depot is just out of the picture to the right.
Written on the front: "Early Greer around where railroad tracks run." Written on the back: "Big Field near Southern Depot near Randall. c 1900"
Photograph showing the interior of Carolina Lunch. Shows three men, one of which is Praelo Howell (far left end). Photo is screened, so it might have come from the Greer Citizen.

A letter written by Me-Ma, Ruth O'Dell Fuller Sullivan, for Harper Donald "Don" Hawkins, Jr. The letter is dated July 2, 1953. Ruth O'Dell Fuller Sullivan is Don's maternal grandmother.
A Western Union telegram from Alice Orin and Alicia expressing the condolences to H. D. Hawkins. The condolences are most likely for the death of Hawkins's wife, Ruth Fuller Sullivan Hawkins, in February 1953.
