This is an old photo from the Washington Township/Dalton area of Plymouth Co., Iowa, taken in someone's home around 1900.  On the back of the photo is written: (back row, left to right) Lloyd Norton, Charlie Smith, Bert Norton, Albert Schweppe, (middle row, left to right) Lizzie Minor, Gertie Kistle, Emma Schutt, (front row, left to right) Charlie Hodgson ?, ?, George Smith.  I know for sure, the man in the front row on the right is my great grandfather, George Harry Smith, and the woman in the middle row on the left in the white dress is my great grandmother, Lizzie (Minor)Smith and the man in the back row, second in from the left is Charles Edward Smith, George's brother.

Dalton bridge washed out--flood devastation. Looking from the West toward LeMars.

View looking into Dalton from the East. Notice the school yard and school house on the hill above the town.
