This picture, taken about 1922, shows Arthur Williams (left) and his father, George Williams in front of the old George Allen house. The photograph was taken toward the northwest, from the southeast corner of 125th Street and Ottawa Avenue in downtown. This photo is courtesy of Wilfred Williams. The Savage Pacer is always looking for more old photos to add to its collection of “Remember When” photos, so anyone who might have old photos to share should contact Nancy Huddleston at (952) 345-6376 or editor@savagepacer.com.

Helen Lattery Carlson was 3 years old at the time this photo was taken in front of her parents' home in 1925. She was a life-long resident of Savage before she passed away in 1998. The house behind Helen dated backed to the 1860s and was operated as the Green Grove Hotel after the turn of the century. It was burned down in 1964 (controlled burn by the Savage Fire Department) and a Texaco station was built there in 1965. The house stood where Culvers is now located in downtown Savage. If you have a photo that could be used in our "Remember When" series that is published weekly in the Pacer.

"Remember When" is a weekly feature in the print edition of the Savage Pacer. Old photographs, such as this one of Connie Emerson, the 1960 Dan Patch Days Queen, is an example of the type of items that we run in the newspaper. In 1960, the other Dan Patch Days royalty included Claudette Grimme, who was the First Princess, and Marilyn Porter, who was the Second Princess. If you have old photographs you'd like to share with the newspaper, contact Editor Nancy Huddleston at editor@savagepacer.com or call her at (952) 345-6376.

On a crisp and sunny April 29, a group of Dan Patch Historical Society members were caught on camera on their way to hold a small ceremony at Dan Patch's burial site in remembrance of his 112th birthday. The site of Dan's grave is a tightly-guarded secret. Pictured here (from left to right) are George Augustinack, Jens Bohn and Jim Ross. The trio carried a picture of Dan and one of his horseshoes, a floral arrangement, binoculars and a shovel to make a spot for the flowers. (submitted photo)
