I thought you might have fun with this one, Iggy. It's like a snapshot of that little town.
ReplyDeleteJust for completeness sake - Dr. Hannibal Landon Find-A-Grave memorial (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=58411683) shows he passed away less than a year later on Jan. 6, 1917 from "Asthma."
