Friederich HomesteadThis was the old homestead, built about 1835. Harold, David and Al were born in this house. The family that lived in it in 1849 died in the Cholera epidemic that swept the country during that period. Joe bought it from his brother, Charles, in about January of 1923. This picture was taken in 1962 while it was going through some painting and after the front porch had been removed.
The picket fenced garden that almost hid the front of the house from the road. It had permanent paths with flowering plants, rose bushes, Peonies, Lilacs, Gooseberry bushes, Rhubarb, Asparagus and vegetable beds... These were all in the distant past, stripping it of the look and feel of the warn happy homestead it had once been... Several years later it was bulldozed into a rubble that lies in a small thicket of white locust trees on the prairie...the only sounds now are the rustle of the leaves in the prairie breezes, the twitter of the birds and the occasional rustle of a cottontail rabbit.

Jumbo Threshing MachineThe threshing machine coming into our farmyard on the way to out pasture behind the barn where the huge pile of straw would be easily accessible for winter bedding for the livestock and for use on the concrete floors in the chicken houses in the winter. A vague outline of the barn can be seen over the top of the Jumbo with one of the farm Implement storage buildings on the left.
