Photo 527-ADE-8

Comments

This farm is owned by Donald Harris on the north side of E Co Rd 600 S, about a 1/4 east of S Co Rd 875 E. At one time however, my great grandparents lived here, George and Minnie Bennett Conwell. They were both born in 1873 and both died in 1955. They are buried not far away in Union Cemetery just south of Windsor on the Losantville Pike. They were the parents of my grandma Sylvia Johnson. Unfortunately this is not a great photo of the farm. The structure at the left edge of the photo is the 2 story frame farmhouse. The structure in the center of the photo is a barn, probably quite old. Note the cupola showing between the trees. The barn at the right edge of the property is a more modern barn, probably a pole barn. Interestingly, the Delaware/Randolph County line splits the property at a point between the house and the center barn. One of the places the Conwells lived prior to here can be found in Roll 526-ADE image #6. I haven't studied Donald's family but he is one of a number of Harris family members who live in Perry Township.
