The pictures are wonderful–I take a nostalgic “real” tour of K-town at least once a year with my sister Roberta Winegardner and so enjoy it–Barbara Paul Craft ‘56

Thanks for the comment Judy..!! Here’s a link to a pretty good article about the devastating results of the outbreaks of cholera in small midwestern towns, like Knightstown, in the early-mid 1800s.
