Aerial Overviews

About 1929. In the foreground is the Hagar Straw and Paper Mill, with the Abel Magnesia Company in the background to the right.

Previous image, different angle. The lime kilns are now in the foreground, while the straw board company is in the background.

Same set of photos, but shows more of the town. The railroad tracks fade into the distance, past Cedarville. Looking closely, one can spot the opera house, Cedarville school, and the Cedarville Feed and Grain Co. The station is not tall enough to be visible, but it is still there.
