No show!

Extra chairs were added to accommodate the overflow crowd at a recent town hall meeting in Ohio’s 5th U.S. congressional district, a sprawling territory that includes all or part of 12 counties northwest of Cleveland to the Indiana border. A seat was reserved for U.S. Rep. Bob Latta at a table with a microphone and name placard, but the Bowling Green Republican was a no-show.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring an agricultural scene. In the foreground, there's a field filled with tobacco plants, which are tall and slender with leaves that have a distinct shape characteristic of tobacco plants. The plants appear in various stages of growth, from young seedlings to fully developed plants ready for harvesting. There is an individual working among the tobacco plants. This person appears to be bent over as they are engaged in some form of plant cultivation or possibly picking leaves. Given the context provided, it's possible that this is a child, likely Willie Welch, working on a farm in Warren County, Kentucky. The background of the image reveals a rural landscape with a clear sky above and open fields stretching out to meet a line of trees or shrubs nearer to the horizon. The style of the photograph suggests it may be from an earlier period, possibly due to the quality of the image, the clothing worn by the individual, or other visual cues.

The image depicts a historical scene of family members engaged in tobacco stripping. A group of people, likely part of the B.F. Howell family and possibly living in Bowling Green, Kentucky, are shown working together in what appears to be a barn or similar setting. The individuals vary in age, with at least one adult and several children visible. They are handling large bunches of green tobacco leaves, which suggests they may be involved in the process of preparing tobacco for market or use. The image is a black and white photograph, and it carries historical significance as a representation of daily life from that era.

This is a black and white photograph depicting a group of people engaged in the process of tobacco stripping. There are six individuals visible in the image, which appears to be an old photo given its monochromatic color scheme and the style of clothing worn by the people. In the foreground, there's a person standing behind a table covered with tobacco leaves, which are spread out on it. To the right of this individual, another person is sitting at the same table, presumably working alongside the standing person. Behind them, three more individuals are visible; one of them is wearing a tie, suggesting a formal or semi-formal work environment. The setting seems to be an industrial or agricultural facility designed for processing and stripping tobacco leaves, as indicated by the large quantities of tobacco in various stages of preparation on the tables and floor. The people appear focused on their tasks, with one person appearing to check the quality of the processed tobacco. The image is a historical document capturing a moment in time, possibly from the early 20th century based on the attire and equipment visible in the photograph. It provides insight into the labor practices and conditions associated with tobacco cultivation during that era.

The image depicts a group of individuals working together in what appears to be a traditional method of processing tobacco leaves. In the foreground, several people are handling large bunches of tobacco leaves that have been freshly harvested and are now hanging up to air dry before they are packaged. The setting looks rustic with wooden structures and natural lighting suggests it may be daytime. The individuals present appear to be members of a family or group engaged in this agricultural activity. They are dressed in attire suitable for manual labor, indicating the physical nature of their work. There is no text visible in the image, so there are no specific names or other identifying information provided. This photograph captures a moment in time that reflects a bygone era of farming and labor practices before modern machinery was commonplace. The subjects' engagement with the task suggests a shared purpose and a sense of community in their work.

The image appears to be a historical photograph capturing a moment from the work of stripping tobacco leaves. It features several individuals who appear to be engaged in this labor-intensive task. The setting suggests an outdoor location, possibly a farm or plantation where tobacco is grown and processed. The central focus of the image shows a group of people working together to remove the tobacco leaves from their stalks. They are surrounded by bunches of tobacco plants that have been stripped of their leaves. The individuals in the photo vary in age, with at least one child participating in the work along with older individuals who might be family members. The attire of the people suggests a rural or agricultural setting, and their concentration on the task indicates the importance and the time-consuming nature of this work. The photograph provides a glimpse into the daily lives of those involved in tobacco farming during that period, showcasing the intergenerational participation and the collaborative effort required for such labor.
