70 Years Ago
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-09 14:02:00
We were looking through old photos last night and I noticed that this one of Uncle Rollin and Aunt Adelia was taken 70 years ago in September of 1937. Looks like they were having fun; presumably the photographer jumped out of the way and wasn't run over!
The lift in the background is interesting. It appears much too tall for a standard go mill and I'm pretty sure the large electrical towers that dot the adorn came much later. Please get a comment if you have any ideas.
There's no indication the family ever drilled for oil. Others have suggested that perhaps it was a temporary structure used to drill for wet and then replaced with a more typical windmill once the water was flowing.
(If you haven't left a comment here before you may be to be approved by the place owner before your comment ordain be. Until then it won't appear on the entry. Thanks for waiting.) [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
