I was at the library today doing more research and came across a picture of Burroughs Funeral Home as it looked when Arthur's body was taken there. I saw the hearse that picked him up from the crash site and the man Ivey Burroughs who embalmed him. The photos said 1941 and 1945. Arthur died in 45 so it's exactly as it looked when Arthur was taken there. It gave me a weird feeling looking at those photos while thinking about Arthur being in that hearse and in that funeral home.

That's cool! I love old buildings and places and even pictures of old things. I hope you're going to include it in the scrapbook!

Another cool pic I saw today at the library was the Stokes County School bus used in 1929. This is exactly how the bus that Marie, Carrie, and Maybell rode to school looked like. Very very different from the ones of today.

Wonder if it was yellow? (I'm sure the pic was black & white)

Even though the photo was back and white I could tell the school bus was definitely NOT yellow. It appears to be black or some other very dark color. It was also a lot smaller than the school buses are now and the shape of the bus is very very different.
