I figured you had to be from the Delft area, Bingham lake High school and pastor wiebe, kind of put you over in that area, thanks for posting the movies, really enjoyed them
I lived in cottonwood County (springfield township) as a boy. I really like the color. We always think of the 30's and 40's as such dull times because everything else in black and white. The color adds so much. Your father must of have been quite the farmer judging from the buildings and have a movie camera at that time.
@seancarm Thanks for your note. My Dad's farm was in Carson township and most of the farmers I knew were from eastern Cottonwood County as I went to Carson and Mt. Lake schools. My Dad didn't splurge much and worked hard, but every now and then he bought something like a movie camera and we in the later generations really appreciate that he did that. I've gotten responses from around the country and world for that matter.
I want to thank-you for this wonderful uplifting Video!
So simple. It shows our lives as they should be. Reaping the rewards of simple, honest toil. The music is so extraordinary and uplifting. I've watched it over again several times now. Thank-You! Brian : )
I purchased the music (probably from Amazon as I remember). It is an individual hymn from an album entitled "Hymns Triumphant, Vols I and II. Its sung by the London Philharmonic Choir and accompanied by the National Philharmonic Orchestra. Those are all the details which I have. I'm happy you appreciated the music and the video.
So you were really close to Walnut Grove, then? I love your videos. I stumbled across them yesterday, looking for something for my daughter. She has one of those old Marx tin toy farms, which looks very like your real barn. We've been watching these videos over and over. They are beautiful, and they make me cry. I've been trying to explain to her how all of the men of our family in this generation, save one who was 4F, fought in the war. It makes me cry to think of them leaving like this.
Just magnificent! Imagining how rare these 8mm films are from the 40's. Have never SEEN check wire being used in corn planting though my dad & grandfather talked of the early benefits of being able to cultivate at 90 degree from planting as well as with the row. Love the horses, grandfather had them till late in 1945 I beleive.
I want to thank-you, God Bless
