Saturday, January 31, 2009. The ground below South street was farm land. There were a few houses on South Main street some distance down. The population was about 1,200, and we seldom met strangers or those we did not know at least by sight. Houses were of frame, two stories in height, and the style of living much plainer than now. Most of the houses had gardens attached, which added much to the comfort of the residents, giving them fresh vegetables during the summer.

The streets around the four sides of the Square were taken up mainly by business buildings, but to some extent by residences. These buildings were generally of frame, two stories high, and this was true of the great majority of the buildings in the town, brick buildings being an exception.
