The farm my great grandparents lived on

 Great-grandparents Christopher & Sigrid Dahlager
lived on a farm by Clear Lake, just south of Dalton.
Here are a couple of photos.


This photo was taken during threshing -
I don't know the date of the picture, but maybe
in the 1920's.

My great grandpa died in 1918 and great grandma died in 1942,
so I never knew them.  

My mother used to tell me what a nice place
they had - with beautiful lilacs, and other flowers.
There was even a stone path to the outhouse and
great-grandma plated flowers along the path.

The buildings are all gone now.
