Ross Morfey fuels up the AC which is going to be pulling the AC combine in this late thirties view of farming. The other two fellows are unidentified. An operator really had to "stay with it" with one of these machines to get 20 acres a day done.
Just two tidbits of information from the 27 July 1864 Nevada Newspaper:
The first regular freight train ran to Nevada yesterday.
The masons have commenced the labor of laying the foundation for the new court house.
Marlene Morfey relates:
In 1931, the Morfeys lived the first place south of the School on the east side, just south of the Arrasmith Station.
