I do love those old photographs reminds me of my farm days. We did things mostly the same way back then here as others that ran a farm did in those days. I have seen Hogs hanging many times after a Hog killing, some good ole cracklings and sweet taters would be good on the cold days coming this week, good stuff briarpatch sure brings back lots of memories for me.

I have an old home movie of my Pappy dressing out a hog with my Dad helping. It was in the winter of '59/60. I will have to see if I can get a snapshot of that and post it up here.

I also have some picture of my brothers and me back in 1963 riding a pony. I know it was then because my aunt is in the picture, and she was expecting my cousin.

Great pictures. My family didn't take many there was no camera unless someone else brought one over. Most pics were of hunting, fishing, and fun - not work.

Most of these early photos were taken with a Kodak Brownie Camera ...
Some were taken with the next Kodak model?
I still have both ...
Some the later ones were taken with a great big polaroid ... earlier model

This photo is of a tractor similar to the Ford 541 Offset that we plowed tobacco with ...ours had the front(middle) lift and you could watch the plows doing the work ...and if it covered a plant up, you stopped got off and uncovered it ... didn't take many getting offs to figure out how not to cover them ...

I see some tobacco in the background that has been bottom cropped, the most difficult of cropping to do!
