This picture is the only picture I have of my Granddad and Grandma Schiess. It was taken in 1910 as my dad is in the wagon and was born in 1909. His father died when he was only six and his mom died when he was 19. The girls had to climb the ladder to sleep in the attic while the elder boys slept in the grainery located behind the horses. This farm near Victor, Idaho, was homesteaded by Granddad and Grandma and is still owned by our family. This was my stomping grounds where I grew up with a fishing rod in one hand and a gun in the other. I think I explored every foot of the mountains in the background.
