This photograph from about 1962 depicts a food donation to the Salvation Army from Fulton Myers Post #153. Depicted from left to right are John "June" Stephens, George Ashby, Major Ben Jones of the Salvation Army official, and William Jones.

The Post (on Mechanic Street, Cumberland) was named in honor of Private Fulton J. Myers who died in 1918 at Camp Meade. The Fulton Myers Post #153 of the American Legion was closed during the summer of 2008. The Post was damaged by a fire in 2010 and razed in 2011.
