Photo mystery

pa 180 9 copy

Do you recognize this family? If so, the Historical Society of Alberta wants to hear from you. Around 1930, this family photograph was taken outside of the Cooley Bros. garage in Chinook. The next issue of the society's quarterly journal, Alberta History, will include an article on the garage written by author Jonathan Koch of Olds, who preserves the fading pioneer-era history of the southern Alberta dry belt on his website, forgottenalberta.com. This photograph will be featured on the cover. If you can identify anyone in the photo, contact editor Harry Sanders at harrysanders1966@gmail.com or Jonathan Koch at forgottenalberta@gmail.com.
