DeWitt Square 1898


An 1898 scene in the DeWitt town square forwarded to me by James Prange via Bob Moody.  A close and careful examination will reveal just how charged with history is this image.  There appears, near the left-center of the group, to be a man standing on a platform of some sort that suggests perhaps a political -- or perhaps religious -- gathering, but little else is known about it.

However, it tells us a great deal about the community at that time.
