lot - Fire Chief Anthony Lexington KY Fannie photos telegram vintage Ashland

Description

The Old Barn OK presents:
Group of items that appear to be from Lexington and Ashland, Kentucky.  First 8x10 professional glossy photo appears to be the Captain of the Fire Dept in Lexington, KY, best that I can tell from the badge. I believe his last name is Anthony based on the other items in the group, but there are no identifiers on these photos.  The 8x10 of the woman appears to be an earlier photo, professional and mat finish. And the third photo appears to be a sepia print of a couple, and the man looks like a younger version of the Fire Captain to me. Included are a telegram to Fannie Anthony in Ashland, and a bill of lading for a carton shipped to someone named Anthony in Ashland.  Hoping to connect with some family members who are interested, but if not, the Fire Chief photo is collectible itself, I believe. I did find an obituary for a Fannie Anthony who passed in Mechanicsville, Virginia at 94 yrs old in 2017. The obit says she was married to a Raymond Thomas Anthony, but I couldn't find anything on him.  Feel free to share any info with me that could help connect with any family who might want these items.
