In June 1958, 18-year-old Pat Carr had just finished her freshman year at Hiram (Ohio) College and set off on a summer road trip foreign to most college students.
That's because the road was a river, the Ohio, where Carr spent nearly four months as a trumpet player aboard one of the river's last moving showboats, the Majestic.
This was the Mennonite Memorial Home before any additions were added to the building. From a picture post card, the message on the back side reads "Mennonite Memorial Home," Home for the Aged, Bluffton, Ohio, Sponsored by Eight General Conference Churches in Ohio. This photo was taken in the mid 1950s.
