Dad's Farm

This is the home I grew up in. This farm was just down the road from the farm that my Dad grew up on. This was taken in 1953 by one of my aunts, and she gave me a copy. My Grandma helped my Dad to buy this farm by co/signing for him at the bank. He bought it around 1945 or so, before he and my Mother married. He farmed both this farm and his parents farm, as his Dad worked a job in the city. My Mother went to Harrisburg Hospital Nursing School while Dad farmed. After graduating nursing school, they got married.

The farm has stayed in the family. My second to the youngest brother and his family now live there. My sister bought a piece of the land and lives by the farm too.
