An Indiana Farm Tale From Uncle George N McKay
In Indiana two miles from the Ohio river a circle farm stood beside a county road. Our area held many tenants from Tennessee and North Carolina who worked only part of the year. Father wished to move back to Kentucky but could not get fair value. Susan later married William Milton. At 19 I planned to learn a trade in Bloomfield while family life continued around Taylorsville. My father, now in Kentucky, yearned for his children and kept a kind heart toward us all.
