I recently won this picture on ebay and it arrived in the mail today..This press release picture was taken in Lindsborg,KS on June 15,1952..It shows (5) 21-A Massey Harris combines heading to Sumner County Kansas for the second best wheat harvest in history with an average of 19.5 bushels per acre.We've sure came a long ways since then..
This picture has special meaning to me as my Mother grew up 4 miles east of Lindsborg..My Dad grew up 10 miles NW of Lindsborg..Moms side had their family reunions in Lindsborg and I spent lots of time there when we visited my Aunt Eleanor.
Pictured is the old Mt Hope one room school my Mother and her 8 brothers attended many years ago...Its located 4 miles SE of Lindsborg and it still stands today..
The farm house where my Dad was born in 1908 and today still stands proudly 4 miles SW of Falun,KS..
The old Smokey Valley Roller Mill and Museum on the Smoky Hill River in Lindsborg ...Its in operating condition and is well worth the visit..Back in the 1950's-60's I and my cousins played there before it was restored..One of the old record books shows my Grandpa having flour made there in the early 1900's..
