<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Haefli, post: 3314777, member: 15354&quot;]So, Debora, here is the latest.&nbsp; The person from Minonk Talk did a little research.&nbsp; Believe it or not, he already posted it on Minonk Talk.&nbsp; I just sent the photo to him this morning so I don&#039;t know how he did this so fast.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to him, this photo isn&#039;t of the day they strung the lights nor is that Miner T. Ames.&nbsp; However, the Minonk Talk person confirmed the building on the right side of the picture.&nbsp; The person in the middle, in my opinion, may be Miner T. Ames&#039; son, Knowlton (complete guess on my part).&nbsp; If this isn&#039;t from the day they strung the lights in 1882, then it must be some kind of anniversary celebration of the stringing of the lights.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Post on Minonk Talk:</b> <a href="https://www.minonktalk.com/oldphoto.aspx?id=000511&amp;searchword=none" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.minonktalk.com/oldphoto.aspx?id=000511&amp;searchword=none" rel="nofollow">https://www.minonktalk.com/oldphoto.aspx?id=000511&amp;searchword=none</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I wrote the Minonk Talk person back and told him about you having the greatest credit for piecing this together.&nbsp; I love history and am happy that this piece of history has now been rediscovered and not lost forever.&nbsp; <u>I think your detective work has resulted in something very positive.</u>&nbsp; Thank you for making my week.&nbsp; This is so much more fun than working. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
