Broad St Sidewalk Cleared with a Two Horse Plow

Photo and comment courtesy of Rene Elliott.

John H. Elliott, called "Uncle Jack" (so as not to confuse him with John T. Elliott or his son of same name), a teamster, noted horse trainer and horse doctor, and plowed the village streets and sidewalks after William Churchill, and before Frank took over plowing the street and George the sidewalks with a single horse (that plow now on display at the fairgrounds). That was a pretty good snow storm.

In late 1915 H.H. Linn was showing off his tractor and having Norm Carey take images like this, printed by the Morris Chronicle in an early catalog, showing the 1915 rebuilt prototype pulling two town road graders on the flat up past McWilliam's on county rt. 51, with the original town tractor, a International Harvestor traction engine, in the background as a suggestion.
