Cecil E. Saunders owned this farm when this picture was taken. He owned it from February 1964 until mid 1975. Almost all of these buildings are now gone. Wilson Mill Road in Eagle Point Township, Ogle County, Illinois.

Cecil and Marion were my grandparents. We spent many many happy days on this farm, walking out to the pasture to bring the cows in at milking time, playing in the hay mow, baseball in the yard, "helping" Grandma in the garden, walking down the road to the railroad tracks to watch the trains go by -- always so much to do on the farm!

i remember going out there a lot. Once I was riding in the front scoop of the tractor (probably not the correct term). Jim Saunders was driving and tipped the scoop so that I fell out. He said it was an accident...............not sure????
