Image
Six men, a young boy and a woman stand outside on the porch and road in front of the General Store. There is a sign for "Star Brand Shoes" posted on the roof of the porch. Above the porch near the peak of the roof in a brick archway is the sign "IOOF 286". Horse-drawn vehicles are parked in the dirt road in front. Wooden fencing is along the left side of the building. In the background are fields, trees, and low hills.
