Grandpa's Farm, 1919: taken in front of farm home of Elmer C. Emmack (b. 1880), Metz, Iowa (about 6 miles southwest
of Newton, IA) in 1919. (Elmer Emmack is maternal grandfather of
Leland D. Blackledge [2262] - Leland thinks the small girl standing
near the front porch is his mother, LeOra Mae Emmack Blackledge Shultz.) The farm was sold about
1990, and the land today grows grapes.
