North Dakota Farming on the Frederick Farm and a July 4th Party

Not much to add to these photos.  Hard working people coming together to help one another.  People giving of themselves....



A photo from a distance.  You can see the grain blowing out the funnel to the left.  Lots of people, horses and heavy machinery.


 
This last photo is of a 4th of July picnic on the Frederick Farm in North Dakota.  When enlarged, I can see Sophia and John Frederick, along with Albert and May Frederick.  Several siblings are in the picture, but trying to identify each one specifically can be challenging.  Still, it's wonderful to just look at them all and know they are my hard working family, not afraid to venture out to the western frontier.

    How neat!! That middle picture reminds me of the chapter in Little House in the Big Woods about "the wonderful machine". :-D

    And it makes me think of the stories of them farming in South Dakota and of Almanzo and Royal working in the field.
