Photo 24-TPU-25

Comments

My grandparents Wayne and Grace Roam’s farm in Swedeborg Missouri. Located by the Gasconade River.I remember they used to plant watermelons, potatoes, and corn in the river bottom field when I was a kid My grandma died in 1995 and my grandpa in 1997. I was 2 years old in 1987 when the picture was taken. The corn crib building is gone. The house is still there. The big tree to the right of the pickup is blocking the other shed. He kept his tractors in there. It’s also gone.

A few years later the porch on the side of the house in the photo was closed in. It was kind of like a storage room.
