First soldier killed-in-action from the greater Slatington area in World War 1. Alan O. Delke American Legion Post 16, Slatington, PA, Lehigh Valley's oldest post
Looking at the lower part of Slatington, along Walnut, Cherry and Railroad Streets. The old wooden bridge across the Lehigh River is in the middle of the image.
In the 1970s, this is what was left of the aqueduct which carried the Lehigh Canal over the Aquashicola Creek. The Central of New Jersey trestle is visible in the background.
