Moment in Time Revisited

Frances Nesbitt (left) was a sophomore at Grandview Heights High School in 1924 when she portrayed the "Goddess of Peace" in a float for the annual Field Day parade. Her chariot was pulled in a gesture of cooperation by other students (top right). Frances lived on Grandview Avenue in a home built by her grandfather, Frank Byers Howell, who lived behind her on Broadview Avenue. The middle photo shows Frances, her sister Betty and brother Fred in front of her Frank Howell's rose pergola. Frances graduated in 1930 from OSU with a degree in Social Work and married Barr Winegarner, whose family business was Winegarner's Funeral Home on East Main Street. Frances, lower right, and her husband later moved to Worthington.
