    1. [OHDARKE] Union City Hoosier Club
    2. Torres, Jane E
    3. Hello, I have just mounted an old picture from the 1st Minstrel Show that was performed by the Hoosier Club in Union City. The show took place at the Grand Theater in 1914. The picture includes characters in the Al Jolson "blackface" tradition which was popular in those days, but is very politically incorrect in the current times. There is no offense intended. My parents identified the men in the picture as: First Row: James Ruby, Glen Barr, Victor Thornburg, _____ Braden, Eldan Reichard, O. O. Fraze, Frank Haselmire, Charles Heitzman, Ray Lenich, _____ Vaughn, Elmer Shugars, John Knoll, Victor Wildermuth, Skat Thomas Second Row: Tom Bothast, Kenneth Coats, Harry Thornburg, Pudle McGill, Howard Glunt, Clete Riffle, Tom Mason, Henry Miles, James Potter, Dory Robison, Herbert Wildermuth, Clarence Bothast, Ott Bailey, Carl Rosenbush Orchestra: ______ McDaniel, Claude Heckman, Ralph Thornburg, Everett Williams, Howard Mills, Fred Stebleton, Dr. Ruby on the Piano http://randolph.dcoweb.org/1914hoosier_club.htm --Jane Torres
