Photo 49-FNO-23

Comments

This is my wife's Grandparents farm Harvey & Lela Shellman lived here from 1936 until his death in 1978. His youngest daughter Genevieve and her husband Gene Leitch then bought it and lived there until 1994. Harvey, Lela and Genevieve all died in this farmhouse. It is no longer in the family. Wind took down the big barn and a larger one was built north of the original barn. The property has been sold off ane several homes are built east of the homestead now.

The pin on the map is centered on the old farm site in the photo above. The barn was a Mail Pouch barn and is ID'd as MPB 14-57-12 on the Mail Pouch Barnstormer's website.
