Forgotten Bluffton: Who collected all those mayor photos?

Answer found in a 1950 Bluffton News

An email from Jan Emmert prompted this column on Bluffton mayors.

Prior to the town hall’s renovation in 2008, there existed a huge framed collection of Bluffton mayor photos. It covered an entire wall. 

Every Bluffton mayor’s photograph from its founding in 1861 made up this unusual collection. Today the photos are in two frames on the second floor lobby outside the police department.
