Photo is great in a sense that it makes you remember history.......but it must have been doctored........people look too healthy and not over worked trying to just survive....for 1900s era.....keep in mind......no refrigeration......no fresh healthful foods available every day.....they look too 50s ozzie and harriet family with kids...but I've been wrong before.....


Not a pro trapper....only cage trap racoon, skunk, possum, groundhog taking residence in barn that refuse to pay rent

The nice clothes are what looks off to me. I'd bet that is the banker and his family after the owners defaulted on the loan. Just a guess but it makes more sense than the story provided.

The new clothes and big, fancy outhouse is likely from a successful skunk trapper during the boom years.


I have nothing clever to put here.

This!! 330 I always enjoy looking forward to your photos. It can be hard to fact check some of them for sure and today's technology can almost make coal look like diamonds lol.

You're just spreading love and good deeds all over today. First donating to the discretionary fund, and now providing a bobcat pelt to be made into warm hats for those poor, struggling children living in a dirt hut.

This Good Savell thing is just going too far now!

Love,
Angela


Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

Not too many folks back then had any extra meat on their bones did they?
