Willie with farming machines (possibly Ken in picture, also).These are items I scanned from Bob's information and photos
This is from the Bible of John Behem (a letter between two cousins). John Behem is probably Ben's father, Leah's grandfather, Willie's great grandfather. The Uncle Ben and Aunt Matilda (married in 1848) mentioned in the letter are Leah's parents (Leah is Willie's mother). These two boys (Allen & Oscar) presumably are Leah's cousins.

According to Bob these are their horses ~ Belmont & Dugan. Belmont could be ridden. Dugan could not ~ Ken could ride Dugan if horse wanted him to. Willie could always ride Dugan but he carried a 2x2 two feet long. Alma drove the team ~ she was driving this team when Ken got his leg wrapped around the axle and broke his leg. Alma was able to get the team stopped.
