Description

A carriage stands on the right side of the old hotel near Spoon River.  

On verso: "Frank Housh tore this down years ago. Built a nice bungalow. He lost everything they had. Now lives in Peoria with their youngest daughter. Louella is 93, Frank, 96. The Landlady, sincere but emotional, usually led the parades in aisles during 'protracted' meetings."
