SCHUYLKILL MEMORY LANE QUIZ
Clue: We dare you to tell us who the person is on this week’s picture! We’re not giving any leading clues, because we’re so sure nobody can guess who this week’s subject is, and we don’t mean the dog.
Answer: Last week’s cute little “fella” with the big hair ribbon was Paul Williams, a retired gentleman seen about town. We really got you last week, as no one was able to guess who our subject was. The picture was taken back in 1906 when Mr. Williams was just two years old. The house is one of those known as the Jones Row on Wisconsin Avenue between First and Second Streets. Oh, by the way, the dog’s name is Ben.
