Lockwood, MO Regarding 163.jpg, my uncle has told me that the fellow in the left foreground in the suit and hat is my grandfather. It looks like he is leaning, but it is just camera lens distortion. One of the two girls standing on the tracks is/was Olga Ossenforth, not her maiden name, of course.
Lockwood, MO Mahlon, What was your grandfather's last name? My mother hails from Lockwood...Wehrmanns, Brinkoffs, Von Stoh's, et al.
I learned how to telegraph at this location and my family hung and carried to mail for many years prior to this time in 1959 or 1959!
