Threshing beans on the McKee farm

Mbhs #: 0078.1

Year Range: 1909-10

First Row: Pearl Arlissa McKee, Clara Hester McKee, Amos Milton McKee, Floyd Edward McKee, Christina Elsie "Cressie" Haskins

Source: Evelyne Byrne Williams collection

Notes: Copied from an original postcard. The wagon is loaded to go to the market in Jacksonville. We believe the handwritten note was made by Pearl. The date suggested, "about 1906," is wrong - Clara was born on November 2, 1905. Cressie was a Saltmarsh on the maternal side, and a descendant of the very earliest (1630s) colonists of Rhode Island on the paternal side.
