Gus's Barn

Note says Gus's first barn, 1909, 30 ft by 30 ft, house to the right, so this must be the south side. The house front door faced south. The barn was north and west of the first cabin, both located near the south line about middle of the south east 40.

This picture has shown up before, but this is a better copy.

It is printed as a postcard, a common practice of the time. This originally said 1920, but may have been earlier. Note the axe sharpening stone with hand crank.

 The back says c- 1911 Meadows, neighbors. Note that JA like to get into the pictures a bit. Could this mean the Gus had the camera?

 Note the barn in the background. I have seen another picture of this barn, but could not locate it today. Some damage on the print. These two are contact prints.

 JA and a thrashing machine. Could this be the Red River? of http://meilickeancestors.blogspot.ca/2013/04/artefact-little-level.html
