Located about 6 feet north of the Harvard depot is this memorial to Frank Nolan, Sr., Frank Nolan, Jr., Dick Brady & Katy McCauley. The first three men were all Wisconsin Division Engineers and they all lived in Harvard. Dick Brady was also the jeweler in Harvard. Katy McCauley was the daughter of Cheryl McCauley, who managed the coffee shop in the Harvard depot. Katy was killed in a car accident about 8 years ago. Note the C&NW logo on top of the stone. Who ever put this together did an excellent job. Thanks to Roger King for filling us in on these details.

We understand it’s in good hands and is being preserved.	Wisconsin Division Conductor Robert (“RL”) Thomas gives his Brakeman a Highball on Train #654 at Harvard on 08/04/06.
