Notes
Owned by John and Martha Brady, members of Damascus Church of the Brethren, but probably used by former owner Frank Secrist (also a member of Damascus COB). Frank Secrist was Alvin Secrist's great grandfather, and John and Martha were his aunt and uncle.
The wheat fan was puchased at John and Martha Brady sale.
