“I just moved back after 25 years, I love it! It is home. The man on the wagon is my grandpa, Michael Jarokosky. He came from Austria when he was 16, and he got a job at the Felger Farming Company in 1915 and he drove the wagon. In this picture they are threshing. He drove it to Ellison Milling. He would take two trips a day with those horses. He worked and bought a farm a mile south of the airport where his son, grandson and great grandson still farm in 2021.”
