This is the Hall Farm (Raydic Farm). I grew up there. It was my father's mother's family (Robinson) who lived there in the late 1800's.. When my grandfather married M. Robinson, they lived there and worked the farm. Then my father and mother did the same. My mother still lives there. This barn with silo and 2 small structures to the left of the barn opening burned in June 1963 (4 days after my wedding!). When someone came to the door in the fall of 1963 with this picture, my parents were stunned - and bought the picture. A new 1-story cow barn and 2-story attached hay barn were built to the left of the shown structures, That barn burned in 1979. The cow barn was rebuilt on the site, but the hay barn was built across the road. There are now several structures across the road. A 3-bay garage has been there as long as I can remember, the hay barn, a horse barn, and a couple of smaller structures. My father farmed until 1994 and my brother continued until his death in 2012. His wife and family are now the farmers.
