Baca County Court House 1919

Baca County Court House - 1919

 Mary Malden, Alice Jack, Roy Mathews, Ralph Hooker, Chas. Howell, Mrs. Howell, Margaret Jackson, Hallie Herbert, Mrs. Cora Mordica, Mrs. Elden Allen stand in front of the third Baca County Courthouse.

The third Courthouse in Springfield, which still stands but has been added on to in the front and back. It seems that citizens of Old Boston wanted the courthouse there, also the citizens of Minneapolis wanted it at Minneapolis, so the first two in Springfield were deliberately burned. Old Boston is or was SE of the present town of Vilas, Minneapolis was north of the present town of Walsh about 8 miles. There is nothing at Minneapolis except a cemetery.
