It all started on July 28, 2010, when Mavis Anne Bryant told Jim Sears that the photo lab she used was closing on a certain date. Thereafter, she would have no way to get her old-fashioned film developed.

Jim responded right away: "Well, that still gives you two days, and it would be a shame to waste half a roll. If you're taking requests, put me down for the funeral home at 515 North Burnett Avenue. In the 1950s, the house was home to two sisters who taught at Raynal School, Wilma Nolte and Venita O’Dell. Mrs. O’Dell was the principal when I was there. I transferred away from Raynal in 1959, and apparently they never got over it. Neither of them lived another decade."

Mavis drove the few blocks and took a few photos of the house.

Jim Sears was inspired to delve into both documents and his own memories. He discovered:

The 1920 Census showed the Carroll family at 1315 West Main Street. They apparently moved to 515 North Burnett Avenue sometime in the 1920s.
