Find Fester!

Posted:

Hi guys my cat escaped late last night without me realizing and I couldn’t find him anywhere last night nor this morning. If you live in the Oregon Hill area please keep a lookout for him!!!! He’s very friendly and responds to kissing sounds and his name, Fester. If you see him, PLEASE CALL ME 703-475-6369. You most likely won’t be able to catch him or anything, he gets really freaked out when he’s outside.

Family Photo Mystery

A neighbor who lives on the 300 block of S. Pine Street has asked for some help with a mystery. After she moved into her row house in 2009, renovators found a trove of old photographs and bits of correspondence in the crawlspace under the house. While she has done her own investigating, she is still having trouble identifying the identities of the people in the photographs. She has asked that OregonHill.net help and ask its audience if anyone knows the people in the following photographs…the ultimate goal is to return these photos and things to the families…Please reply in the comments or send a contact form in.

In addition to the identities, a few more mysteries-

There seems to be a couple of family groups represented in the photos, including white and black members and groups- are these different family groups related? If so, how? Why are their photos together in this trove?

Why was this trove stashed in an Oregon Hill crawlspace? There’s nothing in the photos or bits of correspondence that establishes a connection to Oregon Hill. There’s no indication that the people in the photographs ever lived in the house or in Oregon Hill.
