Modern Woodmen of America baseball team, Marcola, Oregon 1912
Baseball teams in this time frame played in multiple leagues across the county and region. Lodges, mills, camps, towns and others all sported teams. Some had scheduled seasons and others would just post in the newspaper that they had a team and were looking for opponents. There was a game nearly every week during the summers.
The men in this photo are not identified, except the second from the right in the front row was a Montgomery. Other known members of the team included Price, Schwind and Carson.
If you can identify any of the men please comment with name and position in the photo.
Eva Titus as the Goddess of Liberty, Marcola, Oregon, 1916
On July 4th 1916, the Modern Woodmen of America (MWA) lodge selected Eva Harriet Titus to perform the role of the Goddess of Liberty in the Fourth of July celebration that year.
Eva was the oldest of the six children of Frederick Walter Titus, Sr. and his wife Harriet. Mr. Titus ran a general merchandise store in Marcola for many years. At the time of this picture she is 17 years old and was a junior in Marcola High School. In 1919 she married Lionel Lee McMahan Sr, who was employed on the Southern Pacific logging train on the Wendling branch railroad. They had one child, Lionel, Jr. in 1920 and then she passed of a cold and ear infection in 1921.
One oddity in the photo is the flag. It appears to be a hand made replica and not an actual flag. Note that the bottom stripe is white, not red (occurs on all American flags). The stars are not evenly applied and appear to be hand stitched. The star pattern seems to be consistent with an 1896 to 1908 flag with 45 stars. A 1916 flag with 48 stars had six rows of eight stars each in a grid pattern. and the 1908-1912 flag with 46 stars had six rows with rows 1, 3, 4 and 6 having 8 stars and 2 and 5 having 7. So I believe it is a hand made decoration and not an actual flag.
M.W.A. Building, Division Street, Morristown, Minnesota. This building dates from 1906. M.W.A. probably stands for Modern Woodsmen of America, a fraternal organization.

I first started photographing graffiti in 1999, and in 2000 I setup a website to share my photos. Initially a mix of different subjects, but it soon became almost entirely of graffiti. I uploaded over 6000 photos to this site. Eventually Flickr came along a few years later and I started using that instead, and stopped updating the website. I shut it down completely a few years ago.
I occasionally get requests from people for photos of pieces by specific graffiti writers, and I thought it might be a good idea to upload them all to Flickr.
Most of these photos were taken on film, scanned, and saved at a small size, back in the day when people were still using 56k modems to connect to the internet and small filesizes were desirable. So apologies for the quality and size for some of these. Someday I'd like to get them all scanned in again at a higher resolution.

Diamond North West 40705 (SO19 MWA) Wright Streetdeck after It's little accident back In 2020 when It collided with a low-bridge In Rochdale.
This was technically Diamond's first attempt at a open-top bus if you think about it. Considering it predates Julià , which is Diamond's open-top ALX400!
