Babe Woodcock took several photos at the Hall farm in December of 1934 as the old Fred Buchanan Robbins bros. Circus was being loaded on the traincars to leave Lancaster, MO. for the very last time and become the newly formed Cole Bros. Circus.
This photo was one of them she took. It is at the Wm.P. Hall farm in Lancaster, Missouri. I say IN Lancaster, Missouri because a well practiced youngster with a sling shot could dern near hit the County Courthouse from the Hall barns. The barn behind this wagon housed the elephants in the lower level. The water tower appears beside the barn and the train car behind served as the infamous Hall office for about 20 years. This particular wagon changed several times over the years and still survives today. Perhaps Anonymous can fill us in on the beginning history of this wagon.
