A Young Visitor to
The 1904World's Fair
Anna Ollie Stuart, age six,
of Sparks, Nevada dressed in her finery going to ride the
Ferris wheel. When I was little she always told us it was magical to see all the
electric lights. No place she lived at that time had electricity. Sparks
(Nevada) had gas-lamps, etc., so a little girl from Nevada must have been
overwhelmed. At ninety, she told me she still dreamed about looking out at night over all
the lighted Palaces at the fair.
