The old bank building is a farm shed

The old bank vault still stands

The elevator is the only business left in town.
It's especially hopping with activity during wheat harvest.

Well, there is this resident selling eggs.

The train still rumbles through Cleveland.


Old house.

  1. The McMahan Family were active members of the Cleveland M.E. Church in the early 1900s. They lived near Julia and daughter Ella May taught school at Belmont.
