Well, I was looking thru some old pics last night and found this old pic of my hometown ~ lookin' north up Main street at the crest of the hill of the main intersection downtown. The building on the far right is Tessendorf's Mortuary/Furniture Store, and the building on the corner across the street (with the *Drugs* advertisement on the wall) is Joe Wood's Drug Store. The bank and the post office are on the two corners across the street (not visible in this pic) ~ I'm not sure of the date when this pic was taken, but note that the streets are not yet paved. I'm going to do some research today & try to determine the approximate date. I used to buy my Superman comic books at that drugstore (still have some of them) ... and I took my first date there for a fountain sody pop we called cherry phosphates. Oh let not time deceive you ... you cannot conquer time.(research has dated this pic to be circa early 1920's)

and see the drugstore is still there, but I can't tell what the business is, the sign is too small.
thanks for the link. din't you tell me once, that you were related to russell perrussel? i knew him. i haven't been back up to onaga in many years, other than slip in occasionally to visit the cemetery. i think i'll drive up there this spring and spend the day ... take a bunch of pictures. yeh, i'm gonna do that.
I'm not related to anyone in Onaga as far as I know, but I did go to school in Wamego and we played Onaga in sports and such. That's why I'm kind of familiar with Onaga.
