Rivers
Boardman river near 6th Street.
The Boardman River, Hannah Lay grist mill, the library and part of 6th Street.
Boardman and Sixthboard, On "Marvelous Monday" the HCTC presents this colorful view of the Boardman River sometime between 1905 and 1926. The picture look southeast from a point northwest of the river near the southeast corner of Wadsworth and Front.
We know it could not be before 1905, because that is when the Carnegie Library (to the right of the photo) was built. It cannot be 1926 or after because the Hannah Lay Grist Mill (to the far left of the image, just beyond the south Union Street bridge) burned in January, 1926. You can see the Perry Hannah House (today the Reynold-Jonkhoff Funeral Home) just to the left of the Library.
Compare this to the second photo (1895) which looks northwest from what is now Hannah Park. The Potato Implement Plant stood at the southwest corner of Front and Pine. By the time of the colored photo the lumber had run out, and logs no longer lined the river bank.
