Motoring Through Lovewell c. 1913

Motoring Through Lovewell


A news item about a good deed performed for an ailing Lovewell resident in 1913 tells us that Ben Stofer’s car was new that year.  If that’s his daughter Ethyle in the back seat, she’s 11 years old here, and will marry Martin Dahl, Jr., in 12 years.  It could be a street on any little town with ramshackle buildings, but if Ben is showing off his prized possession, as he seems to be doing here, then it’s probably for the benefit of his hometown neighbors.
