Jess and Nell, a team of draft horses, stand hitched to a low winter sled in Sebewaing — dated 1910 on this photo. A bundled-up driver sits behind them, ready to haul goods across a snow-covered street before trucks and plows took over everyday work.
Look closely at the building behind them: a sign at left appears to advertise “Osgood U.S. Standard” — a brand tied to weighing scales made in Binghamton, New York, a common sight in general stores and warehouses of the era.
Do you recognize the building, the street, or any local stories about teams like Jess and Nell in Sebewaing?
