Photo 19-ISC-17

Comments

This was my childhood home. So naby memories of my siblings and I playing here and learning about farming from the Meyers, mostly Rick. His dad, Willie owned this property. My siblings and I still talk about this house and all the memories. We lived here from 1981-1989. My families' last name is Bisbee.

This barn has fallen down in the summer of about 1986 or 1987. It looks like it had fallen in this picture, but not yet have been cleaned up yet. A vicious Mother's Day tornado winds blew all the weight of the corn stored in the hayloft to one side, that led to its demise.

I have driven by in past years to show my kids where I had so many memories. A lot of the buildings are gone now, and the corn field comes so close to the house now. The apple trees are gone now.

This is my wife's childhood home. It brought back MANY fond memories for her!
