Watkins Community Tours
Contributed by Betty Comstock
In the mid 1900's the
Watkins Company
sponsored tours to their Winona, MN plant for customers living in Greenwood and the
surrounding area. Below is one of those tour groups for which we are
attempting to identify the participants. If you can help, please
contact

I found a newspaper clipping
on the Watkins picture where I identified Aunt Caroline Volk, dated
7/15/1940. I believe Anna Volk is number 9, from pictures I have.
"Those from here who enjoyed
the Watkins trip to Winona Thursday were Mmes. E. T. Burch, J. S.
Andrews, Anna Johnstone, Caroline Volk, Anna Volk, Chas. Pickruhn,
Minnie Cox, Beatrice Clayton, E. L. Miada, and her daughter Margaret,
Harold Kenton, Bethel Schwarze, Clair Niehoff, Ted Syth, Art Ampe
and Miss Louise Vates." These are only 16 listed, with more in
the picture. I believe my Aunt Caroline Volk is number
24 and I sure hope someone is able to identify the other persons. Sorry I don't have more info.
