This 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 Colera 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 occassional rustle of a cottontail rabbit.

My Grandfather is on the left when he was 21 yrs old in 1900. I have no idea who the other person is. He worked at the Planters Hotel in St Louis on the Riverfront as a Bellboy in 1900.
