More NABERS

Most mornings, Larry and I chit-chat a bit on instant messenger before I go off to work, and if either of us found something fun, we share it.  My sharing tends to be news items and goofy pictures, while Larry shares vids and music and family links from places online it never occurred to me to look.  Today, he was looking at Arcadia, Carroll County, Iowa. (Why there, huh? But we knew some Nabers traveled thru Carroll and a few stayed.  We didn't know much else, and still don't ☺ ).  The website has a bunch of old pictures from Arcadia's early years, and THERE .....

H. F. Schroeder, Joe Schweers, Ted Staples, Gerd Hammers, Elmer Schroeder, Bernard Naber, Mike Booth, Ras Nelson, Gilbert Michael, Barney Vander Loo, Shorty Anderson, Val Naber, Harry Wood

...in one of the few photos with names, we have TWO Naber men--Bernard in the middle of the top row, and Val, second from the right.  The photo isn't dated, but it looks like late 30s/early 40s. No, we don't know how they connect, but it's a good bet that anyone with that name in the U.S. does.

Click the link--Arcadia looks like a nice little town--there's an Aloysius Naber pictured on a baseball team from 1923-24, too.  If you have info about these Nabers, let me know, ok?  I'll post it!

BTW, if the photo above was a map of IOWA, then Carroll Co would be Ted Staples waist band button.  Got it?  ☺
