the house at 5:35 looks just like the design of my house that was built in 1835 still going strong with the old creek stones foundation too. i wonder what the original owner would think if he knew someone was still keeping it alive. these old places hold a great spirit. being that design was so popular i wonder if it was a design out a catelog or something people could replicate. favorite house design ever i belive they call em i-homes or L-homes

I loved when my gma would go through her photos with me, she knew where each was taken and when, who they were and what they were doing. She even knew what the air was like, or what the house smelt like. There was one of her not smiling, but always noted that she did not feel like smiling in that picture. I never knew why but she always mentioned that.

That is interesting. The first thing I was thinking about was how the house smelled. They were told not to smile in the photos for some reason. The wallpaper was cool too -- you could feel the design. Some were "fuzzy". My grandmother told me about the first time she got to ride in a car -- there was no road to the city, so they drove through the fields.

Having posted a few pictures in Illinois forums, looking at the terrain, finding the glass negatives in Greenville antique store, the glass plates from St. Louis, and the obvious trip to the Fair are all possible clues for them being local. Someone in Bond County has recognized the bridge in one photo. Publishing the entire collection to KZbin and Facebook will increase the possibility of positive identification. You'll notice the title is "Midwestern Farm" They actually resemble a branch of my own family that had an orchard on Shoal Creek. There's a universality to these artistic images that echo with many families and actually transcends the genealogical and geographical accuracy.

Interesting, and so weird. The last time I went through that area, I saw me one of them there UFOs! ▼

My grandmother was born in 1906. She had pictures like these. She married 1924 and died 1999

[@InLawsAttic]

Like it but wanted more time on each pic, so I slowed the speed down- great video!

[@joyousfive]

I just put it on pause for each photo that needed a longer viewing time . 4/24/23 🤠 Canada

My grandfather's brother Joseph was an early farmer in Bond County, as was the relatives Marti family/ Joseph Buchmiller's wife was Emma Theresia Hammer. No doubt there was a connection to the photographer. Hope someone can make identifications.

Those don't look like poor farmers - they could like reasonably well off land owners who treat farming as a business, rather than just a means to survive. Is there any documentation of poor farmers? Too many people think that farm life was ideal like this, and that city life was rotten (so why did the poor farmers move to the city then, eh???). Not that I'm saying what these peopel in these photos did was wrong. It certainly isn't! I'm sure they were fantastic at their trade! But these photos don't tell the whole story is the point that I'm trying to make.
