This horse-drawn wagon served as a school bus for the Holm children when they lived in Port Wing. 
A little to the right of the horses, 
there appears to be a child in a white shirt, apparently waiting for the wagon.

In her <a href="http://www.albertholm.com/family/AurorasDownMemoryLane.pdf">&#147Down 
Memory Lane&#148</a> story, 
Aurora Hovey wrote, &#147In the mild months, we had a wagon 
pulled by horses; and in the cold months, it was converted into a sleigh. To keep warm,
everybody had a brick that had been heated in the oven and wrapped in paper. 
This we would put down by our feet. When we got to school, we put the brick in 
the oven in school, and it was kept warm until we got ready to go home.&#148
