1917 Farmyard Favorites

 "Agriculture is our wisest

pursuit, because it will in the end

contribute most to real wealth,

good morals, and happiness."

Letter from Thomas Jefferson

to George Washington (1787)

My husband grew up on a farm.

We live just down the road from the

original homestead of Catherine &

Edward Berry - his (5 times)

great-grandparents, who settled

here in 1807.  Several generations

of farming families are the result

of what they started 200+ years ago.

Two tags using images from a c.1917

children's book title + back cover, combined

with a Farm Sale document from 1792:

 Original images were scanned,

then cleaned up a bit. The book is

13.5" by 9.5", so a fairly good size.
