This is my grandfather's farm on startown road. I would like to know what other photos you have and if I can get one in color. Please email me. Thanks
I WAS ON THAT FARM BACK IN THE 1940'S. I LIVED ABOUT 2 MILES
BEHIND THE FARM FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. BEEN BACK MANY TIMES. LOTS OF CHANGES.
Ritchie Brothers Dairy on Startown Road. My grandfathers farm.
I grew up on this farm, worked there til it was sold in 1997, still live there
The farm is gone now
This was our family farm. There are 3 houses in the picture but ours and our grandfather's are under the trees. The buildings housed the barn, milking parlor, the feed lots, the calf pens, multiple machine sheds, tool shop, and roast-a-tron to name a few. The silos were a landmark.
Not pictured is a fishing pond, pastures and various fields. The farm sold in 1997 but two of the houses and surrounding property still belong to family. Papaw Ritchie's house was situated between the other two under the trees and was also sold.
