There is an annual Old Settlers celebration in Delphi every August, and one of the most
popular places to sit down is that war memorial that was in the first picture. I have
spent many hours sitting on or walking around it. I would bet that it is on a website
picture as one of the main landmarks for Delphi, IN. I certainly do not remember any such
monument in Tyler.
Of course there were iron bridges just about everywhere in the country, so it is not
possible to positively identify one from another without some sign or other unique
identifier. It is just that the one in the third picture is similar to the Pittsburg
bridge and the countryside around it is consistent with that area. There were a number of
old iron bridges around Delphi. I don't know about Tyler--when I lived there, there
were none that I know of, and we drove around that area a lot.
Let me see if I can find a picture of Delphi.

Problem: I sent the photos to the Tyler, Texas list
and they say the photos were definitely taken in
Tyler... I got to thinking about it and there is
another photo of the Jasper Hufty round barn that is
also stamped Tyler, Texas so I'm leaning more towards
them having been taken in Delphi...

The first one is definitely Delphi. The third one
probably is, too.

Can anyone tell me if this photo was taken in
Delphi/Carroll County (or if not if anyone can tell
me
where it was taken)?

I originally thought it was taken in Tyler, Texas,
but now I'm not so sure.
Thanks!
