Nellie Hanks Geer Clough Photos

Elwin Geer has loaned us his Grandmother's photos to share. Nellie Hanks Geer Clough's photos cover a couple of 1935 shots of the broken Austin Flood walls that flooded the PA valley and cost many lives as well as Wellsville flood scenes of 1945-1947. A few photos are of Wellsville People. ALSO, we will be setting up pages for you to view of the old Pennysaver of Wellsville Photo Reprints. The first set of Pennysaver Reprints will be from the collection of Nellie Hanks Geer Clough. Please submit scans or bring them to the Allegany County Historical Society office of additional scans that we can add to this collection of the old Pennysaver photos. Scans can be emailed to webmaster@alleganyhistory.org
