In continuation of the Dreaded Boxes Project …
You met my paternal grandfather, Del, at age 27 in an earlier post of Julius’ family portrait (detail at left).
Del was born on George Washington’s birthday in 1887, and lived 101 years. And I’m not sure he ever changed his hair style.
A few pics follow of Del and his wife, my grandmother, Rebecca, and their farm. I’d wager that is a new or near-new 1933 or 1934 Ford in the first image. The flood photo was taken on Del’s farm east of Onawa, Iowa when the Little Sioux River flooded in 1936.
