york circus day 025, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Here are some photos of the grave sites of Ray Rogers, his wife Emma, and Baron Nowak who was Emma`s son and Ray`s stepson at Rosemont Cemetery in York S C. Baron Nowak was billed as The Smallest Man in the World during his time with the Barnett Bros and Wallace Bros Circuses. I had the pleasure of meeting Baron back in the mid 80`s while he was a Presbyterian Minister in Saluda N C, included is a picture I took of him then. Bob Cline also has more pictures of our day in York on his blog at circustents.blogspot.com . It was a great day in York for Circus Fans, Historians, & Model Builders ! They are planning to do this every other year and I would encourage other fans to attend, we were treated like royalty as the whole town seemed to treat us warmly and were very gracious. We were really amazed at the number of folks still alive that were connected with one or all of the shows at one time or another. York is deep in circus history and the people that live there are very proud of that, as there were lots of great stories being shared on Saturday. Hal Guyon
