These pictures were taken at my dad's home place before I was born. My dad was born and raised on this farm I was raised there also. His dad started an orchard and vegetable business which prospered in those years. The 1st picture show the their pick up trucks they used to haul the fruit and vegetables to St. Louis. Peaches and Asparagus were their main crops along with grain farming. You can see all the peaches my Grandfather and his three sons raised. There were four sons but one died in an auto accident at the age of 23. Rest his sole. The first few pictures show bushel baskets filled with peaches the sat in the front yard under the shade tree until they were loaded on their 3 pickups then headed to St. Louis Mo. The one picture shows some of the hired hands sitting on the bench for a break while my dad and his dad sort thru the peaches in the back. Another picture shows my dad standing while grandpa is bent over looking at the peaches. Then the 2nd to last picture shows my dad on the far right with 2 of his cousins, a neighbor boy, and dad's brother's father in law. The last picture shows my dad with his two brothers. Dad's oldest brother once told me that he went with Grandpa to look at 35 acres across the oil road from them with the intent to purchase the ground. He bought it and paid for it in 2 years by raising tomatoes on it. Hope you all enjoy these pictures.
