Alice Marion McPherrin Swigert 1917 portrait Postcard

Alice Marion McPherrin Swigert 1917 portrait They married later August 22, 1917. Their farm was at the intersection of four Knox County townships: Galesburg, Cedar, Orange, Knox (counter clockwise on the map). The farm itself was in Cedar Township. They had field corn, hogs, chickens all which I remember. I do not remember when they had cows, but mom does. I do not remember when they had horses and neither does mom, but, they dated in a horse and buggy era. I remember the large white farmhouse my grandpa's father had built. I have a picture of the previous 'homestead' house from the 1800s. I remember grandma holding me on her lap as she was listening to her neighbours gossiping on the party line. My grandparents met at the Knox County Fair where my grandpa began flirting with grandma as she was riding the merry-go-round. They were born in 1895 and 1896. www.zazzle.com/markewesterfield 2024.
