BARNS ARE BEAUTIFUL
Neat is the operative word for the Owen Lee Parker place. Straight as a string. Just check the fence.
This is the Ben Ottmar farm in the Davenport WA. area. His son Dennis and his little brother are doing their level best to tamp down the hay and supervise hooking the slings to the carrier. Like it or not, they were learning lessons for the days ahead.
This giant barn stood on Harry Getman place. It deteriorated with age when the family moved onand it wasn't used. It has since been destroyed.
Nothing is slicker than a sleigh ride in the snow with Anni Nilsson and Bill Sebright enjoying a cold moonlight night on this inviting slope. A bon fire at the crest of the hill. Hot dogs and a marshmellow roast. Oh the joy of youth.
This stately farm was the home of the Nilsson family which included none other then Anni Nilsson, an exceptional young lady that caught the eye of none other than Bill Sebright. He courted her and married her. If you want to hear the rest of the story, please scroll up a few pages to "A STAR IS BORN." You will see why they are living happily ever after.
This is from one of the barns on L and R Farm owned by Ron Messerschmidt and Larry Harris. We don't know what the '95 date means. It would seem the barn is well over 100 years old. The farm was once owned by the Ole T. Westby family.
Log Barn on Sherman Rd. Deer Park Wa.
Barn at Enoch Rd & Wallbridge Rd.
Secluded in the serenity of the evergreens. One can hope this pleasent scene will never change.
The Owen's barn south of Deer Park, WA.
Mr. & Mrs. Fritz Schleman raised their three young ones on this farm. There was Darlene, Darris, and Violet.
The above beautiful barn was once owned by Mary and Mike Stocke. It is located just north of Montgomery Road on Short Road. Rumor is that it was built the same time as Olson's white barn on Short Road. (See the fifth barn down on the right side, above.)

Haying was always an edgy time. And as usual with farming it depended on the weather. Hay must be dry so between rains there was no rest.
A timely shot as the sling load disapears into the mow. Easily pulled by the Ottmar 22 Gas powered Cat.
Consultation is in order to identify the owner of this well maintained barn. It is located west of Fan Lake, east of Division Road. Nice going folks.
This barn sits just a wee bit north of Deer Park, WA, on Short Road. It has been in the Olson family for many years.
Built long ago but blessed with land lords that care. Brand new roofs on all the outbuildings will prolong the life of a building for decades.
Charolais or Shorthorn, who knows but this farm lies northwest of Deer Park close to Short Road or Spotted Road. Nice comfortable spread.
Finch Woodard Barn at Crawford & Dalton Rd.
It is said that this is a stage coach barn on North Cleveland Rd. 2/3 of a mile west of the first Deer Park Cemetery.
On the Homestead of Ole T. and Helena Westby still stands their barn, built before 1895. Here's a perfect view from the camera of Peter Coffin, along with Ron Messerschmidt and his guest Bill Sebright. The board with the '95 date and ititials above and to left are in this barn.
Owen's Barn # 2. Also Deer Park, WA.
This photograph is of the same barn shown in the 3rd picture down in the right hand column above. One cupola was removed and greatly enlarged. Well maintained to say the least. It is located west of Fan Lake.
The Lawrence Lucas farm on Oregon Road, west of Spotted Road.
