Information from Henry Hartin: The photo with silk or plug hats was taken on the Old Court House steps a short time before February 1, 1902. I base the date on the following: H. W. Pentland on the top step at extreme left was City Treasurer and he passed away in January 1902 and I was elected at a special election to fill the unexpired term in February 1902. I was well acquainted with all of the Elks shown in the picture."
