Description

Photo of Fordson tractor in field with men standing nearby. ID is a little iffy as there are a couple inconsistencies in who is who. See ID on sheet with photo. Left to right: August Moeller, Uncle Joe Weber, Frank Moeller (seated on tractor-dealer for Fordson), Grandfather John Pete, Father Alt (pastor of St Peter & Paul Catholic Church in Institute in 1920), George Strahan, unknown DeMeuse, Tom Strahan. Label on folder with photo says Urban Fordson--what does that mean? Photo probably taken about 1920 (tractor looks most in style like drawing in newspaper of 1 Aug 1918--Moeller's sold it between 1918 and 1926).
