Monday Memories


This is the Sowle Farmstead.  In the picture is my Great Grandfather John Sowle, his wife Viola and my Great Aunt Mabel.  Viola would die before Mabel was 20 years old and John would marry Pearl and their son, Leland, would be my Grandpa.  There was 20 years age difference between Mabel and Leland.  Mom lived here through high school when the farm was sold.  The house was there until after I was born, although I'm not sure how much longer, and I would have still been a baby so I have no recollection of ever seeing this in person.  The house and barn are long gone and corn now grows there.
