This building was built by Odd Fellows in 1909. Advent of Movies, name changed to Capitol Theatre by Mr. English, Proprietor.

The couple with the 2 children standing in the front are Bertha & William Shaffer and their children Raymond & Florence. Florence (my mom) was born in 1909 if that helps date it. Uncle Raymond lived in Hancock, and died in Cadosia in June of 1991. --Alice Keel Crim, March 11, 2003
