1:17 - Grassle & Sons Wagon &
Carriage Factory,
201-203 S Main
Brothers
Albert F & George A Grassle, came to Kirksville from Memphis,
MO in 1887 and opened their wagon factory on S Main near the Wabash Depot;
their father, Frederick Grassle, joined them in the business the
following Spring. Frederick is in front of the shop with his hands on
his hips and his sons are probably among the other employees standing
around. Unfortunately, we don’t know which ones they might be.
