A photo of Life in Sheridan: Stroupe Bros enter Vaudeville
Jaspar and Clem Stroupe were friends of my mother. They were relatives or friends of Maggie Hutchinson in Wheatland, who grew up with Mama. They went on the road entertaining in Vaudeville and would send Mama postcards of them appearing around the country.
People in photo include: Jaspar Stroupe and Clem Stroupe
