I was going through old negatives again and here are some I have found. These people worked hard. We here stories about the "good old times" maybe it was but they sure did have their work cut out for them. Looking back with these negatives of the Page family, can you imagine if someone from their time came to our current year. Oh man I bet we would seem pretty futuristic.
Here they are working the field. That must have taken days depending on how large the field was. To have four oxen to pull the plow, the dirt must have been pretty hard.
Here is the wheat bundled up. This would take awhile. Imagine all the bundles they must have had.
Does anyone remember a crop growing this high? We sure don't see this now a days. Unless someone has some pretty old seed.
This baby buggy was the Cadillac of baby buggies in their time. Remember these old cars. Now we only see them in the summer at the car shows or at a show and shine. For those who don't know what a show and shine is, it is when those who have old cars decide to meet at a popular location to show off their cars.
I see quite a few negatives of the men milling wood. This was a big deal back then. We also have before and after pictures of the piles of wood. As you can see the stack of unmilled wood was taller than the guy milling the wood. The team of horses in the back are there with a flat bed wagon to take the milled wood to a different location.
If anyone has any old photos it would be fun to see them. Just tag blastfromthepast. Thanks for looking into the past with me.
