Indeed, it starts with questions. The ones with no easy answer are the ones that pull the hardest. Pretty soon, you're hooked by a pocket watch, and fall right down the rabbit hole 🕳️🐇
That memory of seeing your Bampie is still so clear in your mind. I bet you can close your eyes and see the room as it was and feel like you're there. Was the photo of your grandfather in the garden taken in Evansville? What part of Evansville did he eventually settle in (after John Street in the Directory)? That plow could not have been easy to use.
Cynthia, He married my grandma Lillian Haag, and her father Peter gave all of the kids land on Riverside. They built a house there at 1316 E Riverside. When Mom married Dad, they were given a piece of land next door where they built their home and lived there until I was born. Those houses are in front of the old Dewig/Haag homestead. He is plowing in the garden behind his house on Riverside.

You'd never know that from the photo, would you? It has changed so much.
