Samuel Sylvanus McNinch (1867-1929)

 
Born in Chester, South Carolina, Samuel S. McNinch was living in Charlotte by 1880 and eventually became President of the Charlotte Brick Company. He and his wife Julia McNinch resided at 507 North Church Street. The house now serves as a restaurant. McNinch served as Mayor of Charlotte from 1905 to 1907. Depending on the source, he was either 15 or 16 when this image was taken. This is a copy of a cabinet card.

Douglas and Sing Ambulance

This ambulance was owned by Douglas & Sing Funeral Home. This photograh was taken in 1932. On the photograph, the driver seen here is identified as Karl Miller and was reportedly killed shortly after the picture was taken. However, Karl Miller is the donor of the photograph, there is no death certificate for him in 1932, and he is listed in the Charlotte City Directories well into the 1940s. Therefore some mistake must have been made. Physical Description: 8x10 glossy Publisher: Unknown
