Until the era of artificial pastimes, people enjoyed going to places of natural beauty or curiosity together with others for picnics, relaxation and fellowship. A favorite destination was the beautiful Piney Bluffs.
Here's one story of such an event. The C. P. Sunday School went on a picnic last Thursday to Iron Hill and the beautiful bluffs of Piney.
It was a jolly crowd. The forenoon was spent in chatting, fishing, gathering wild flowers and strolling over the hills and bluffs and native forests of Piney.
The noontide hour was spent in enjoying the delicacies prepared for such an occasion.
In the late afternoon we winded our way back to Marion over the hills and dells of our beautiful countryside.
All said they enjoyed the day.
There are several of these wonderful old pictures that have been saved during the years, but none of them have all the people identified.
In the picture above only one person was identified, and that was of Ollie M. James, in the center of the picture standing and leaning against the bluff with his white hat in his hand.
