Joseph Newton and his mules

A 1916 picture of Joseph Newton and his mules, Jim and Jack. They were familiar sights to Jasper residents as they made daily trips between the village of Piketon and Jasper for Dewey's store.  Ties from the Dewey Enterprises were delivered to the N&W Railroad yard in Piketon and goods  from the Piketon Depot were brought back to the Jasper store.

The picture is taken on the Ohio and Erie canal towpath across from the original Dewey store that burned in 1921. Joseph worked for 31 years for the Dewey's using the mules and wagon until 1919 when he switched to driving a Model T Ford truck for the trips.
