LINCOLN
Main Street
The view from the intersection of Main Street (Lincoln Ave.) and Fourth, looking east, circa 1909.

Bird's Eye View
This must have been taken from atop the water tower. The courthouse is in the foreground. The long stone building on the left says "Wm. McCanles"; that would be a mercantile store.

1913 Old Settlers Reunion #1
The crowd on Main Street watches the parade on Oct. 3, 1913. The photo was taken by G.W. Phegley, who used to have a photography studio in Lincoln.

1913 Old Settlers Reunion #2
The same event; it's hard to tell what's going on in this photo but I'd swear there is someone performing on parallel bars to the right. The Saline Valley Bank is on the corner; J.W. Grubb & Son is next door. You can also see Shire's store clearly marked.

Mail Street, looking east
Another street scene circa 1909, this view is taken from the intersection of Lincoln Ave. and Fourth Street.

MILO
Depot
The Santa Fe depot in Milo, circa 1921. Milo had hopes of "sticking" as a town when the railroad came through but the railroad left and Milo is no more.

SHADY BEND
The entire town
Shady Bend was and is a pretty small place. This is the town, circa 1909.

SYLVAN GROVE
Main Street #1
This is the view looking south on Main Street, circa 1906.

Main Street #2
This is the view looking north on Main Street.

Harvest
The 1914 harvest, taken on William Becker's farm.
