RE: Thomas Whittaker Grocery & partner with Ed Imes in Roller Skating Rink at Kiemer Hall, Deadwood, 1884 - 1885
Thank you so much for all of this information. It is really incredible. Could you tell me where I can get access to the newspaper articles. Do I have to be in Deadwood personally or is it on line? What historical newspaper are you referring too? Do you know if there were any pictures of Thomas Whittaker anywhere? Thank you again for responding so promptly to my inquiry. You are amazing.
