Garth Golding home

This farm was owned by a Titcomb and was purchased by Dana Cheney. Elmer and Robert Walton bought this farm in the 1950's. Bob and Mable built the house I believe 1957. Bob raised the barn in the 1960's and poured a cement footing for the barn and then poured a cement floor. On the right side of the barn you will notice a cement pad on which he built an office for his potato and trucking buisness. The two piles of items stacked on the right of the barn are potato barrels. You will notice under the trees on the south lawn a white roadside stand for Susan and I to sell bagged potatoes from. In 1971 Garth and Nancy Walton Golding bought the farms and buildings. In 1976 Garth and I reopened the roadside vegetable stand for our two daughters and two nephews to run. The local people named the stand "Nancy's Place. Garth build a wider driveway for the trucks on the south side of the south lawn and put a large turnaround on the east side of the same lawn. Garth died during harvest in 2015 and after all of the produce was sold, the stand was closed that November of 2015. Many happy memories were made by the many young people who helped in the buisness. They would sign their names and the year they worked on the walls in the stand. During those 39 years many would come back to see if their name was still on the wall. I'm selling the land on these farms to my great nephew Logan Nason. He will be the 5th generation to farm the land.

In my prior post I forgot to put that in 1994 Garth and I tore the old barn down and erected a grey and white steel building on the same site.
