Harvest Home

Raise the song of harvest home!
COUSINS ON A HAYSTACK
Kansas ~ 100 years ago
Looking into the sun ~ or into the future?!

READY FOR A HAYRIDE
My Great - Uncle Harry (1887 - 1940)
pretending that the wagon needs gas.  Haha!
And his wife, Great - Aunt Ethel, top left.
In the photo above, their daughter Mildred (b 1913)
sits at the very top of the haystack.

******************

More about Harry Louis Heideman, older brother 
of my Grandmother Rovilla Heideman Lindsey

Sadly, his obituary:
According to the family apocrypha,
Harry's last words were “Don’t blame the boy”
[the 16 year old driver who didn’t see him].

More sadness:
 Harry's middle name “Louis”
 was for his father’s younger brother
  Louis Heideman (1869 - 1884)
who died young in a drowning accident.
 
Here is Great - great Uncle Louis’s
fancy calling card — all the rage in those days!
