This is the side view of the farm in Image #11 in this same roll: I lived on this farm as a child with my family from 1976-1982. It was once a dairy farm although I'm unsure whose (the front of the barn had a prominent all white milk house, just behind the big willow tree in this pic). My father worked at Big Rapids Hospital in town (now Corewell Health) but would use the barn to board horses and I spent every day after school taking care of them. Many fond memories exploring the gigantic fields out back and the barn. There was even a small playhouse built into a small hill of lilac bushes in the side yard that my siblings and I spent hours playing in (the bushes are seen here in the middle of the picture, just below where the farmer is standing and cow is grazing in the side field). Sadly the barn, silo, and out buildings have all since been razed, only the house and large garage out back remain.
