Portion of map with town is in best condition. 2) A 3-page agreement between Elizabeth & William A. Dakan and Billie Wanner. The Dakans are agreeing to sell land to Wanner to plot and layout a townsite. Dated. November 10, 1896. Signed by Elizabeth Dakan and Billie Wanner. Condition: toning to pages, rips to covers.
