This picture of the Methodist Church shows how 
people got to church on Sunday.  The poles in the 
picture show that it was lighting system in Wild 
Rose,  The contract was for the Rose Milling Co. 
owned by Edward Hoaglin install 6 lights as early 

as Nov. 1st. The contract provided for $60 a year 
per light. Thelights were to burn from 1/2 hour 
after sunset until 11PM  excepting moonlight nights.  
The lights will be 2,000 candle power.  Later the 
number of lights increased.The church was not

in the first batch of lights so the picture is likely at 
least 1910.
