Rare photo-- Sam and Saul (or Saul and Sam) Weisman/Waisman circa 1945. They ran two businesses, the Howe Street Garage at 450 Howe Street near where A-1 Auto is to repair cars. They also owned Cy's Auto Parts & Used Cars at 268 Elm in Manchester NH. I am pretty sure this photo was taken at the dealership on Elm Street. Pictured here in the middle, between the Weisman brothers, is my mom, then Mary Manning who was their accountant for a few years.	Photograph of my Uncle, Francis "Fran" Manning on a pony delivering the Merrimack Valley Sun. It must have been taken before or around 1927, as Fran was born in 1917. I am not sure of the location, if anyone recognizes this. He was borna and grew up in Manchester NH so it had to be in the vicinity.	Rev.

The "valley" of Valley Cemetery. "It used to be a popular place to visit/picnic/hangout. But after taking a walk around and down to the valley...I was truly impressed. I just wish I could've seen it in all it's grandeur, with the stream and gazebo and all. I'm happy that the city and a citizen group have taken steps to refurbish and bring the cemetery back to glory." (Bill Cote)	The City Tomb. This is where they used to store the bodies of people who died in the middle of winter when the ground froze. Now it's where they put stones toppled by vandals.
