19th century photo features 4 Shelton residents

Sharing with permission from The Valley Post:

"This old picture was found in Shelton City Hall, between the rafters, and hidden for reasons unknown. There was no information on this picture of the 'Whiskered Foursome' until the Suburban News published it and asked if someone had a clue to their identity.


"Mrs. Harry B. Brownson of Shelton replied and identified them as follows:


"Back row (L to R) Byron Brownson, Stephen Palmer, front row (L to R) David Clark and Eliekien Walker. 

"Also according to Mrs. Brownson, these gentlemen were the founders of the Old Huntington Fair Grounds."


Many thanks to The Valley Post Facebook page for allowing me to post this historical photo. It certainly is an interesting one!
