"I've been workin' on the raaaaailroad..."


From reader George Howry comes this newspaper clipping and commentary...
The section crew was with the Northern Pacific railroad. Mike Howry was my grandfather. The newspaper had some ads from Cavalier, ND but I'm guessing it was the Grand Forks Herald.

  2. Thanks for the information, Val. Much appreciated...

    ...and thanks for the encouraging comments. It's nice to know others enjoy our local history. Although I'd write this anyways, it's rewarding to know it's blessing others in some way...
