Finding lost things

So many times when tracing our family we find lost relatives. Some living, some not.

There are times we find unlabeled pictures of wonderful people, but we can't attach a name to them unless we're sure who they are.

Today I finally decided to deal with a picture that has bugged me for some time.

What you see is all I have regarding this picture.

Any history buffs out there who recognize this early town. Probably an early town in Jewell or Mitchell County.
