Photos from: Nelson resident led group that picked highway route in 1924




J.E. Portwood, of Nelson, was president of the Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota Association (K-N-D). The association selected the route for the K-N-D Highway, which was later renamed Highway 14. Highway 14 carries traffic from the Dakotas through Nebraska into Texas. The streets of downtown Nelson were wet Tuesday morning. Heavy fog blanketed the area and overnight temperatures were moderate. If the National Weather Forecast is correct, this scene will look totally different by the time many local readers receive this newspaper. Four to six inches of snow with wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour are predicted.
