In the first photo, Mommy Morgan is in the center, and I believe the woman on her left is a good friend and neighbor from just down the road, Addie (probably nickname forAdilade) Bohan. I remember walking with Mom and Dad and Dave, and HBM and Mommy Morgan , down to the Bohan house for a viewing one afternoon (I didn't know that's what it was called at the time...I must have been 5 or6 years old) for Addie's husband, who had just passed away. Lots of food, and lots of people. I remember wandering around the property for several minutes just before we left, and saw an old black sedan in the garage that looked like it hadn't been driven in a long time (I now know it was a 1933 or '34 Chevrolet 4-dor sedan, wire wheels and all). The youngster sitting on the fence in the background may have been a grandson of Addie's.<br /> <br />In the second picture, Addie is standing close to the thresher, and Mommy Morgan holding the sack across from her. I believe that the man about 20 yds away with the sythe is indeed HBM, wearing a hat as he almost always did when he was outdoors."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4600194516141354476.post-63205222498618543202009-05-25T08:15:31.152-05:002009-05-25T08:15:31.152-05:00Tire technology and materials have sure come a lon...Tire technology and materials have sure come a long way in the last 60+ years. You really never worry today about having a flat, but they were very common back then, accentuated by wartime shortages and poorer roads.<br /><br />Re the two pictures, I don't know who the other woman or the boy are -- but I'm sure she's not Aunt Vic, whose face was thinner. She might be Mrs. Smith, from the house catty-corner to the farm, or Mrs. Bohon, from down the hill; but I don't recall them.DaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143268922299016989noreply@blogger.com
