Years ago I was at a farm that had old machinery scattered all over the place. It was all horse drawn equipment. I was there to see if I could buy an old home made sawmill carriage for a sawmill that I was putting together. The old bachelor that lived there told us that his dad farmed there, and when he(the bachelor) was drafted into the army he never came back home until his father was old and near the end of his life.

There was even an old coat hanging on a peg, at least what was left of it. Looked really eerie. I drove by that place about fifteen years later and everything was gone. Probably all bulldozed into a hole and buried.
