Regarding last week’s photo of the Fealy Hotel in Sabina, Patricia Smith told the Clinton County History Center: “This hotel was run by my ancestors and was in the Wells Manufacturing and Mr. Uible’s office building. Those on the street and in the windows in the picture are all our ancestors. My grandpa was born in 1860, and my dad in 1905. My dad grew up across from Stokes Berry Farm; the Bogans later moved there.”
