Spirit of Christmas past

The Christmas of 1903 was noted as being rather sparse in terms of decorations and celebrations. The new town of Whitefish was just beginning, not many permanent residents were in the area and only a few merchants. Those merchants did a landmark business, though, due to the presence of hundreds of railroad workers who were engaged in the building of the new Great Northern mainline through Whitefish.
