There was an old photo album in the Historical Society found by Dennis Wilson. It is a fascinating look at Lancaster in December 1942 (mostly). He determined that the photos were taken by Alice Pendelton Lorenz who ran a mill with her husband. They sold out and moved to Montana in 1944. She died in 1997 at age 84, and somehow the album found its way back home. Click here for a look at all 150 photos! Maybe you know these people? Maybe one of them is your relative! Feel free to comment on them, we would love your input! You can contact us by using the email link at the bottom of this page.
