| 2nd and Market, Circa 1906. You're looking West on west 2nd. That's Maysville's Mayor Thomas M. Russell at the wheel, for sure. He bought it on August 5, 1902. We've read that this was the very first car in Kentucky. Maybe . . . |
J. T. Kackley and his daughter, on Second Street, c. 1902 Kackley is an important figure to these pages, since he was a prolific publisher of early Maysville postcards. He sold bikes on 2nd Street , too. |
