The Erwin article is in need of the famous "Hanging Mary" photo that documents the Erwin hanging of a circus elephant --- check the dates; it is bound to be in the public domain.4.88.55.87 06:06, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The photo exists on a number of websites, including this one: http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/murderous-mary-1916/. Now, the execution took place in 1916, so that's when the photo would have been shot. However, we will need to confirm that the "famous" version of the photo was actually published prior to 1923 (or published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice) before we can consider it to be in the public domain.

City vs. Town[edit]

Since "city" and "town" are just different words for the same thing in Tennessee (there is zero significance to the difference in terms), the fact that the Census Bureau called it a city while Erwin called itself a town is irrelevant trivia. Also, the dates in the Census record are suspicious -- other dates in that record are demonstrably inaccurate, and other sources say Erwin was incorporated in 1903, not 1891. Accordingly, I removed the info about the Census error. --Orlady (talk) 04:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
