The Wheelbarrow Party at Rest

I went to Crown Hill Cemetery this morning and happened to find three of the participants in that 1904 wheelbarrow incident.

Claus Ziegler, the Ainsworth saloon owner who bet on the township trustee race:

Charles Seydel, who lost the bet and had to push Claus around in a wheelbarrow:

Hans Thune, who (I think) ran the "Farmer's Home" saloon/restaurant where the crowd finished up its fun that day:
