Photo 1-IMO-25

This was my Grandfather, Homer Hamilton's farm until the 1930's when a fire destroyed the house and they moved to Lakenan, up the road. Mr Saunders then bought the farm. The house in this picture was built after the fire. The Barn in this picture was built by my Uncles after the previous barn burned sometime before the house burned. A couple hundred yards to the left of the house the farm is in Monroe County. This part of the farm in the picture is actually in Shelby County.

Hi G Raymond, thank you for your fascinating insight into the history of this property! It's always interesting to learn about the people and stories behind these Vintage Aerial photos. Do you have any stories about life in Monroe County during the 1930s? We'd love to hear your thoughts and memories. Additionally, have there been any other changes or updates to the property since this photo was taken in 1977? Thank you!
