 | Nicholas & Anna Hammes with son, Richard, circa 1912
Diggin thru some old family pics in the archive. In the pic is L-R My great uncle Richard, my great grandpa Nicholas his wife Anna and an unidentified family member. I would place this pic around 1912, taken on the family "home place" a modest clapboard two-story farm house typical of Iowa. While there are only 2 children in this pic, the house would go on to house 11 kids, including my Grandma Viola. A summer 40-50 yrs ago would always include spending weeks with my grandma Conklin, in Harper, IA. A town of maybe 200 or so people. We would venture into grandma's attic full of cool old things, pull out the old picnic baskets full of old pics...with her telling me who was who and other family stories. I remembered a lot but wish I had taped the chats. Good times.

Notice the large round hay bales in the foreground. The large round baler was introduced in the 1960s, so this was an early adoption of the technology. |
