Photo 6-XKN-2

Comments

Regarding the long building in this photo (if it is, indeed, the original structure), I found the information below at the website
http://genealogytrails.com/ill/knox/1.... The website credits its source as:
"Historical Encyclopedia of Illinois" Chicago: Munsell Pub. Co., 1899
"Another general store was opened about 1853, by Miles and St John. Its original location was at the point known as Ontario Corners...the following year the firm removed to Oneida. Their first store building is now owned by L. B. Shedd."
