Richfield and Jerome

Lemmon Hardware in Richfield, this was a thriving business when I was growing up. It was also in a film about Ernest Hemmingway's life (since in his last years he lived in Ketchum).
This man and his followers thought he was the Christ and didn't have him buried after he died. Finally gov officials forced his burial; as youth we had scary stories about looking down at his headstone and seeing eyes, etc. We loved to go to the cemetery after Mutual and scare ourselves. (I might have already blogged this years ago.)
Richfield canal - that water was cold!!
Jerome canal, where I learned to swim
