Scene looking north from the courthouse. Someone wrote on front of the photo and on the back: "1. Methodist Church, corner of 4th Ave. & 9th St. 2. M. P. Mann house 3. M. L. Miller house built in 1893."
Erastus Church with a vegetable wagon and a white horse. Erastus Church was a colorful Worthington character who peddled vegetables, picked up junk and distinguished himself by having a street named in his honor, because he lived on that street. The photograph is dated September 26, 1900. Poster in the window promotes the candidacy of William McKinley over William Jennings Bryan. It proclaims: "McKinley was right in 1896." Note: This information taken from a newspaper article with same picture, in the Worthington Centennial July 22, 1972. We think it is a Buchan photo but don't know for sure.
