This photo, taken in about 1889, shows horsecar No. 6 at McCamly Park with driver John Ayers at the reins, according to a caption published in the Oct. 19, 1952, edition of the Enquirer and News. The gentleman at the side of the car was Ned Neale, cousin of John Neale, who took the photo. The photographer identified the man in the front window of the car as Will Cady,at that time a jeweler and later justice of the peace, and the man in the last window as Charles Raymond, a pioneer ice cream manufacturer here.	en_US
