The Time of Reaping

From the Schavey envelope collection.

Handwritten on the back of this photo: "Mable & Harry Breyfogle/Union St., Hobart." Here they look a good deal older than in the 1920s-era photos we've been looking at. If the Breyfogles ever had a farm, I haven't learned of it yet; so the wheat (or oats, or whatever) may not be their own harvest, but the still-holding-hands-after-decades-of-marriage … that is their harvest.

Another, unidentified photo may show the same field.

Harvest

And with these two photos, folks, we have brought in the harvest of the Schavey envelope. It's time to move on to some other excuse for not reading microfilm.

It seems they did have a farm. Her brother Clarence lists Mabel as his contact person on his WWII draft card. He gives her address as RR 1 Hobart. That was in 1942 and Mabel died in 1958 or 9. So I would guess this is the same place.
