I have no excuse to include these except for local color, but I love the old photos anyway on their thick cardboard, many, including family photos, made as postcards. Three bridge shots:
Anyone having Google Earth can look down on present-day Carns, reduced to a farmstead near the Niobrara River. According to Great Aunt Margaret/Babe Koftan Langhammer, the Joseph and Frances Hlinovsky Koftan ranch/farm was north of Bassett, not close to Newport as the Peters homestead was.
The last seems timely, given that my favorite animal is now the target of despicable hunters again. "Wolf hunt in Rock Co. near Mariaville 1908." (I am not convinced wolves still existed in Nebraska by that date.)
