Kiwanis Club Searcy AR 1934 historic photo

Refound! 

Is that a proper word?  But I was checking into an old trunk and there it was and had been for many years so I did refind it!   

Look at the important Searcy AR people from 1934 gathered for a photograph of the Kiwanis Club.  The copy of this picture was given to me by a lady who gave me old house pictures that I've posted in the past.  Perhaps the Historic Society could use it?

I did a blog about this picture a few years back.  That was in 2010.  Click to see it again.   https://activerain.com/droplet/npwb  The names of the people are written on the back and I have put them down below.  If I have a question mark I couldn't read the writing.  This was the Kiwanis Club in 1934. That's s long time ago but see if you remember any of them.

Unless I'm mistaken, this was a men's only club and the women in the picture had chores to do but were not members.  Correct me if I'm wrong. 

1.  Mrs. Myers, pianist. 2.  A. J. Stephens, Sinclair agent. 3.  B. C. Huddleston, ?. 4.  Doyle Kelso, teachers & coach. 5.  Elmo Taylor, lawyer.  6.  M.P. Jones, newspaper. 7.

Hello Barbara - I haven't thought about Wilbur Mills of Arkansas for quite some time. When you mentioned his name in your post title and that was a judge in 1934, brought back history of his name in the news from long ago.
