Margaret Miller

Miller Collection

c. 1936

This photo shows a portion of the Miller's Colony farm in the second year of development. In near foreground are several goats on cleared land. A rough gravel road crosses the image in middle ground. Immediately beyond the road is a small flat cleared area at right with a pile of logs on it at far right. In middle ground is a small hill at left center with a partly cleared ridge running to the right. On the far edge of the road are two stacks of cordwood ready to be hauled away, probably to be sold to the Colony Corporation. Next to the stacked cordwood is parked an old car. This may be the used Ford sedan the Millers purchased the previous October that Margaret mentions in her letter to her folks in Wisconsin.
