"A Wagon Load"

From Mildred Lindborg's photo album.

Mildred did not name anyone in this photo, but from the "Irene & Abbie" photo we recognize (at left) Abbie (last name unknown, possibly Johnson) and Irene Hanson. The boy sitting on the wagon may be Franklin Lindborg. The little kids in the street are unidentified.

Looming behind Abbie and Irene is the frame part of the Lindborg business building. The upper floor was still a dance hall at this time. Directly behind Irene you can see the brick part — the blacksmith shop — and between her and the boy on the wagon, a glimpse of the former saloon building. Far in the background to the right of the wagon, there is the Raschka (later Shearer) warehouse. Just peeking out from the right edge of the photo is the Ainsworth general store.
