Mr. Hensley, My Grandfathers name was William B Anderson. The first photo is my grandfather in the tower at Clark's Hill about 1907 to 1909. The second photo is supposed to be Donovan IL or Mt Carmel IL about 1910 to 1912. My grandmother left a note saying that it was at the crossing of the Cloverleaf Railroad. Keith Anderson I'm told that it doesn't look like Mt. Carmel. Donovan was very far North almost to Kankakee, but much closer to Clark's Hill.The photo has the photographer's name and location on it. It looks to have been taken by a Mundell Photos from Frankfort IN.In 1895, the Clover Leaf was the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City. It became part of the Nickle Plate. It crossed the Big Four at Clark's Hill and again at Charleston near Mattoon. If anyone can identify the location of the second picture, I would appreciate it. - rph
I'm sorry that I can't help identify the location, but these are outstanding photographs. Thank you again for your weekly posts!
Excellent photos for the time period. Not sure if the location can be identified. Looks just like the ones I remember as a kid along the NY Central. Love that old typewriter!
