A week ago Friday I posted two pictures in the story about The Way It Used To Look before Wellsville's flood wall was built.
My friend "John Doe Smith" sent a picture of the same area but with the view looking the other way. This is a picture of another old post card and again we don't have a date on it. You can see it was taken before the flood wall and the roadside park was built. The post card was entitled "Wellsville Ohio Entering Wellsville".
On the left is the old McKinley School. That is where "Mickey Ds" is today. You can see the trolley we talked about leaving the Wells Ave. bridge. The big house on the hillside on the right was taken down when they made Rt. 7 a four way road. Just above the roof line toward the back of that house is where the Indian Head Rock use to be. If you save this picture to Windows Picture & Fax Viewer and enlarge it you can just barely see the face. It's very faint. You have to use some imagination.
Thanks John for sharing this with us.

That's a wonderful post card view of old Wellsville ! I was at the library Friday and picked up a copy of the video tape "Wellsville 1937." I'd seen it before , several years past , but it was enjoyable to watch again. My mother would have been eleven years old at the time , but she was able to critique some of the film for me , and recognized many of the people in the video.
The 'ville has lost another of its top citizens in Bob Grimm. He has served the community for many years and his death will be a great loss to the village.
RIP, Grimmy.
Bob Grimm R.I.P. old man. What a great guy, a man's man. Has a great family too. He will be missed.
I love the old pictures! Keep 'em coming.
Chappie, Gitch, and now Bob Grimm. Wellsville is a different place without these men.
