I whittled it down a bit, if you go here
http://www.isgs.uiuc.edu/nsdihome/webdocs/ilhap/county/j_franklin.html
and hit number 22, and the numbers around it, you should be in Sesser.
I see the ball diamond that was about a block North East of Wings lumber. I
see the spur that ran from just north of the depot to the lumber yard. I see
the old mine that was north of the depot on the east side of the tracks, with 2
tracks full of coal hoppers (I thought it was burned down during the early
labor troubles, I remember the smokestack was still sort of standing when I was
a kid)Looks like a coal tipple there too.
I was told Sesser had a grain elevator and stockyards. I am trying to figure
out where they were on the pictures.
