H. Caldwell took this photograph of this beautiful old Lusk home near Suck Creek on August 26,1917 and Photographic Appliances Corporation of Minneapolis, Minnesota, printed it. John Lusk provided the large cut stones that lined the highway up Suck Creek Mountain. Suck Creek Mountain is inside the boundaries of Prentice Cooper State Park in Marion County. There is a Lusk Cemetery close to where the old home place was located. U. S. 41 was referred to as the Dixie Highway for decades.
