Garey Ford writes:

My wife's father, Rodney Allen Olds, was born in Keeler in the mid-twenties. His father, Loren Olds, lived and worked for the National Soda Products Co. (NSP). I'm attaching the family photos of the Olds family while they lived in the NSP Co.Village in 1925. Also, included in the pictures is the Keeler (Mapes) Hotel fire in 1925 and the Owens River Gorge Plant. Hope you get these so others may enjoy them too. Garey Ford (Wife, Teresa M. Olds).
PS: also included are pictures of the David Olds family ranch in Bishop 1885.
