After the colony split in 1930, there would be teams from both colonies carrying on the House of David Baseball tradition. Here we have a photo of our "home" team taken at the colony park in 1930. The colony members from left: John Nimitz, Earl Boyersmith, Sidney Smith, Jack Crow, JB Boone, Oscar Wade, Jack Herron, Tom Dewhirst, Bob Dewhirst, Frank Wyland, Ernie Selby, Leo Wiltbank, Millard Wilson, Hobie Nelson, and Mud Williams. This was more of a photo to be used for advertising or sold as postcards. Some of the members such as Nimitz, Wade, Herron and Wilson did not play ball for our team. We just needed a few more bodies to fill out the uniforms!!!!!
