The picture on the front cover shows an IS HP
Keck-Gonnerman No. 1227, owned by Sam Myers, of West
Alexandria, Ohio and Bill Scheiding, of Arcanum, Ohio. The
photo was taken in August 1978, at the
Brookville Community Picnic and Steam Engine Reunion.
A threshing scene many years ago, is shown in this
photograph taken near Helena, Montana. People and exact site are
not specified. Perhaps you can help us get identities.
This picture of a 32-mule team pulling a harvester was taken at
Red Bluff, California in 1905. The driver was Alva Kemp, who was
still living in Red Bluff in 1970 at the age of 84. We received the
picture from Dr. S. M. R. Reynolds, professor emeritus, College of
Medicine, University of Illinois. He found it in cleaning out his
study at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, prior to moving to Bucks County,
Pennsylvania. It was obtained by him from Keith Lingen felter, of
Red Bluff, originally from Mifflin County, Pennsylvania.
