The closing of Mumsie's bank account was closing a chapter in history that dated back to the homestead days of my parents. It was also closing a chapter in my life. As I stood looking down the street, from the bank window, where had stood with my father many years before, I could see the rows of hitching racks, where the steaming, sweaty, horses stood on a hot Saturday afternoon in 1914, and in the 1920's when they were replaced by the model T Ford with its flapping side curtains. I can see the snow piled high in the streets after a blizzard, when the only way to go any place was with a saddle horse.
All of these pictures were taken from the same position. "Tubby" Howe's drug store on the left. The new building shown on the right, was the new post office, built in the early 1930's, The [sic] bank was later moved to a building down the street, next to the KENNEDY building, [sic]
