Sorry, didn't see this thread until today. Here is the Carl Lundgren Historical Marker in Marengo, IL. Carl was inducted into the Marengo HS Hall of Fame this year (it's initial class of inductees).
In the photo, I'm holding this postcard which showed what the site I'm standing on looked like in 1906.
