Horse-powered Mowing
Talk about some horse-power! This photo is from 1907, when farm equipment was pulled with four legs as opposed to rolling on four wheels. Frank Streuby, the farmer in this photo, took a break from the time-consuming and labor-intensive job of guiding a horse and ox-drawn mower through a field. His children, Frank Jr. and Henrietta, stand in front of him.

This is great! Of course the kids are named Frank Jr. and Henrietta, wasn’t that everyone’s name then? :)
Do you know where this was taken?

Hi there. Actually, we don’t. It was taken in Tillamook County but that’s as much information as we’re able to track down. Thanks for your question, though!
