The Road Home, Jacksonville - c. 1910

At first glance, this view looks simply like a picturesque country road. A closer look reveals iron gates to the Jacksonville Cemetery in the distance. Part of a series of high-quality real photo postcards produced in the early 1900s by Patton Postcard Company, operated by Edward Cooke Patton, in conjunction with his book store in Salem. See detail view 1 for a better look at the gates and the cemetery beyond. -- This photo is restored and printed by Old Oregon.
