This is another one of those precious ones. On the back of this picture is written in my Grandmother's handwriting, "here we lived in Ingals Kans." First, I have never heard of Ingals, Kansas. Second I have to believe it is somewhere near Hillsboro, Kansas. Third, it looks pretty desolate, Could it be during the dust bowl just before then decided to move to California during the Grapes of Wrath movement? Wow. What a place to live. If it is the place where they lived when my Dad was small, they sold it just before they came to California for $10,000 to a relative of theirs. I'm not sure how many acres they had, but they simply could not make a go of it on this farm. I think if you enlarge this and look carefully you will see two people leaning on the car. Grandma and Grandpa? I went to the blog and enlarged the picture and I'm sure it is Grandma and Grandpa. I cannot get over how desolate this looks.

I believe there were 600 acres. but I am not sure. I know at some time, Dad told me, Grandma inherited a "section" of land which is 600 acres, I think. (Larry)
