Farm Days Gone By

Doug Gougar shares this photo of husking corn by hand on the Gougar Farm in 1942. Pictured left to right, Francie Berens, unknown standing next to front wheel, Lavern Schneider, Joe Gougar (his dad, standing next to rear wheel), and the Schneider twins, John and James. The wagon has been restored and is maintained at the Gougar Farm on Gougar Road between Joliet and New Lenox. We could only wish that we could have restored those individuals involved!
