Remember the wonderful old barns?
(Hendrix Barn)
      Bobbi says: "The barn was on my grandparents' farm at Minkler Lake; the photo was taken just before it was torn down in I think the early 1970's."
      Do you have photos or documents you would like to share about your family or the old days here? Please consider emailing the scans as attachments or use regular mail for copies.

(Plowing with horse)
      Bobbi says this is from her family scrapbook. Can you help us determine who it is? And is this Lyman or Hamilton?
