The smaller wagon next to the tractor collects the grain after it is run through the threshing machine. The threshing machine separates the grain from the straw, much like today's combine.
Threshing grain required many people and lots of work. One man is pitching bundles into the threshing machine while the other is watching the steam engine.
This house stood on the corner of Garfield and Park streets. The house has both a front and rear porch as well as a fenced in yard. In the peaks of the roof and on the porch was gingerbread, typical of many Victorian homes. Along with the house was a barn. It later was torn down and replaced with a new one-story house.
Several man are working on this threshing crew. Even a young child is standing with a pitch fork in hand. As the day and work progressed, men would take off their coats and hang them on anything convenient.

It took many people to thrash grain. Most of the work was done pitch forks. The pile in the rear is the straw blown out from the thrashing machine after the grain has been separated.
Originally this house was built in Ash Lake Township. In 1889, it was moved to Shaokatan Township. Six children were raised in this house. Every one is lined up outside the house with many of the other farm buildings in the background.
A belt is running from the tractor to the threshing machine. Two men are on the stack of bundles pitching the bundles into the threshing machine. The threshing machine separates the grain from the straw. Along side it two horses are hooked up to a wagon. Two women came to bring lunch.
